Deadline:
Friday, January 28, 2019*

This workshop will focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Earth
and environmental sciences. We have the responsibility and the opportunity
to make choices in our teaching and in our programs to better attract and
support a diverse population of students. To move forward with this work,
we will discuss the challenges and barriers students encounter, and explore
a range of approaches that can be adopted to broaden participation and
foster inclusion at the course and program levels. At the department and
program level, we will apply a framework of engagement, capacity, and
continuity (Jolly et al., 2004) to program evaluation and design. For the
plenary and concurrent workshop sessions, we will draw from our collective
experiences, from the science and sociology literature on this topic, from
InTeGrate modules, from NAGT's Traveling Workshop Program, from SAGE 2YC
resources, and from recent publications in the Journal of Geoscience
Education (e.g. Carabajal et al., 2017; Callahan et al., 2017;
Sherman-Morris & McNeal, 2016; Wolfe & Riggs 2017). Workshop participants
will leave with specific strategies to implement in their classes, as well
as with discussion points to share with their programs.

*Workshop Goals*

   - Discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion and how they strengthen Earth
   and environmental sciences
   - Recognize barriers to and opportunities for inclusion
   - Explore strategies and practices that attract students, cultivate
   their science identities, help them to thrive in college and beyond
   - Apply a framework of engagement, capacity, and continuity to program
   evaluation and design
   - Develop an action plan with strategies to strengthen diversity,
   equity, and inclusion at the course and program levels
   - Enable networking, sharing, and collaboration within the Earth
   education community to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion

*Workshop Cost*

There is no fee to attend this workshop, and the project grant covers
participant meals and supplies during the workshop. Participants or their
institutions are expected to cover the cost of travel to and from the
workshop as well as lodging (a hotel room block has been reserved). Travel
and lodging details are forthcoming.
A limited number of workshop stipends are available on an application basis
to help defray travel expenses in cases of financial need.
