2020 ESA Annual Meeting (August 3 - 6)

Networking Hour - Building Inclusive Field Experiences and Career Development Programs

Thursday, August 6, 2020: 4:00 PM-5:00 PM
Organizer:
Teresa Mourad
Moderators:
Jorge Ramos , Kari O'Connell and Alan Berkowitz

Description: It can be bewildering to think about so many possible dimensions that may pose as barriers to inclusion including financial, physical, cultural, social or technological. What does an inclusive field experience or program look like? What program elements need to be in place to motivate diverse students to pursue a career in ecology? How can we recognize or anticipate, and therefore, mitigate, the threats to inclusive experience?  Come share ideas about strategies that have worked – or not – and what it takes to design one inclusive experiences and programs.
