Toward a More Equitable Global Geoscience Community: Partnerships, Programs, and Processes
Toward a More Equitable Global Geoscience Community: Partnerships, Programs, and Processes
Session ID#: 121936
Session Description:
The geoscience community has a responsibility to promote an ethical, diverse, inclusive and just culture across and within the Earth system sciences. We can and must make thoughtful, meaningful changes in what and whom is valued within the sciences: who participates in the sciences, how science is communicated, the opportunities for advancement, who is credited for knowledge production, and equitable inclusion of cultures and perspectives beyond Western scientific thought. We invite presentations on experiences, research, ideas and solutions on topics such as building equitable partnerships across organizations and borders, decolonizing geoscience curriculum, increasing equity and access within geoscience and science communication, ensuring inclusion and acknowledgement of traditional and local knowledge, and other topics centered around justice and equity in science.
