ED22A:
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality in Geosciences II: Strategies for Engagement and Retention


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 59276

Session Description:
In recent years the large global geosciences unions (e.g., AGU, EGU, JpGU) have been increasingly promoting and supporting diversity, inclusion and equality in geosciences. In this session we will invite presentations on remaining challenges, new ideas, or successful concepts that improve or maintain diversity, inclusion and equality. Example topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Diversity data within geosciences communities
  • Mentoring programs
  • Role models
  • Representation of minorities
  • Examples of solutions
  • Best practices and successful strategies

For this session, we aim to schedule 5-8min presentations and use the remaining time to synthesize the contribution and discuss challenges and ways forward.
