About

This is the fifth conversation for Leading Practices for Improving Accessibility and Inclusion in Field and Laboratory Science: A Conversation Series.

The final conversation in the series will synthesize our previous conversations to highlight considerations for accessibility and inclusion in STEMM across the entirety of a disabled scientists’ career pipeline, including the importance and role of mentoring. The event will bring together a group of scholars and leaders in the disability community in a live webcast conversation about these topics. Our speakers will discuss key questions, including: What improvements in accessibility and inclusion need to be made from undergraduate education through tenure or a scientist’s long-term research career? What are the institutional, cultural, and economic policy changes needed to improve accessibility and inclusion for disabled scientists in STEMM? What is the role of mentoring in improving access and inclusion in STEMM?

How to watch and participate:

We enthusiastically encourage the public to share perspectives and to participate in the discussion. Prior to the conversation, we will share two pre-recorded keynote presentations to set the stage for the discussion. Those keynotes are available on the project website's event page below. This event will be available for viewing and participation through Slido here.

A live transcriptionist and ASL interpreter will be present at every conversation. Additional requests for accommodations can be submitted during registration until April 8th, 2022.

About

This is the third conversation for Leading Practices for Improving Accessibility and Inclusion in Field and Laboratory Science: A Conversation Series.

The third conversation in the series will focus on specific aspects of access and inclusion for field-based research and education in STEMM, including best practices, misconceptions, and barriers for establishing accessible and inclusive fieldwork. The event will bring together a group of scholars and leaders in the disability community in a live webcast conversation about these topics. Our speakers will discuss key questions, including: What can we do to make it safer for folks to disclose disability or to request field trip accommodations? What myths about how we conduct fieldwork need to be debunked to shift the culture of field-based education and research to be more inclusive? What are the some new tools, technologies, and creative approaches to implement accessible and inclusive fieldwork?

We enthusiastically encourage the public to share perspectives and to participate in the discussion. Prior to the conversation, we will share two pre-recorded keynote presentations to set the stage for the discussion. Those keynotes are available on the project website's event page below. This event will be available for viewing and participation through Slido here.

About

This is the second conversation for Leading Practices for Improving Accessibility and Inclusion in Field and Laboratory Science: A Conversation Series.

The second conversation in the series will focus on specific aspects of access and inclusion for laboratory-based research and education in STEMM, including best practices for establishing accessible and inclusive lab spaces. The event will bring together a group of scholars and leaders in the disability community in a live webcast conversation about these topics. Our speakers will discuss key questions for the community, including: what does universal design in a lab environment look like and what are the innovative tools being created to allow for more accessibility? How can people be proactive about establishing accessible and inclusive lab environments, including the infrastructure, tools, and cultural changes to support these shifts?

We enthusiastically encourage the public to share perspectives and to participate in the discussion. Prior to the conversation, we will share a pre-recorded keynote presentation to set the stage for the discussion. The event will be webcasted with opportunities for viewers to submit questions via Slido here.

About

This is the first conversation for Leading Practices for Improving Accessibility and Inclusion in Field and Laboratory Science: A Conversation Series.

The first conversation in the series will focus on the history and representation of disabled experiences in STEMM, the intersection of racism and ableism in the context of science and research, and offer key insights into how intersectionality can be addressed in STEMM. The event will bring together a group of scholars and leaders in the disability community in a live webcast conversation about these topics. Our speakers will discuss key questions for the community, including: how can we move from diversity to true equity in educational and research environments? How can we support those with a combination of marginalized identities at the personal and institutional level? What can we learn from research and practice regarding other marginalized groups that can help guide similar research and practice with respect to the disability community and nurture a strong, inclusive culture?

We enthusiastically encourage the public to share perspectives and to participate in the discussion. Prior to the conversation, we will share a pre-recorded keynote presentation to set the stage for the discussion. The event will be webcasted with opportunities for viewers to submit questions via a live chat. An ASL interpreter and live transcriptionist will be present at each event. Additional requests for accommodations can be submitted during registration until December 10th, 2021.
