Do the work: Building a more equitable research unit
Abstract
Many geoscientists and geoscience organizations vowed to work towards equity and committed to anti-racist action in 2020. But getting started on and staying committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion work takes time, energy, and education. This clinic will be a learning and sharing space for everyone who is on a journey towards building a more equitable research unit. Regardless of whether you are just starting your journey or you have travelled many miles and whether your research unit is one person or 100 people, everyone can participate in this clinic. The clinic will begin with discussion and thought exercises about your personal identity. We will then think about what it means for our individual research units to be diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Finally, we will discuss actions you can take to build an anti-racist research unit. The clinic will include break-out rooms, some of which will be focused on addressing the work and commitments required by different research units (e.g., a geoscience graduate program or a group of professional geoscientists, as identified in a pre-clinic survey).
