Antiracism and Ethics in the Geosciences: The Intentionality Needed for Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (B A JEDI).

Session ID#: 125018

Session Description:
The session will emphasize pedagogy as a primary driver of B A JEDI work in the U.S. with presentations focusing on how this work in the geosciences fits within an antiracism framework. Participants of this session will have an opportunity to examine their own efforts and position their programs as either transactional-ethical or relational-ethical work. And to think about who is benefitting, and how, from the different approaches.
