An Antiracist Framework for the STEM Society Workplace

Tuesday, April 27 | 2 pm ET

Register now

Efforts to advance inclusivity in STEM societies have gained momentum, yet there is still a lack of effective programs and solutions in place to address how systemic racism impacts our workplaces. First, we must recognize that there is a problem and identify the structures particular to our industry that maintain systems of white advantage. With that knowledge, we can work to disrupt racism (and other isms) and create work communities where everyone thrives.

This interactive webinar will have Zoom breakouts to discuss how white advantage presents itself in STEM society workplaces and approaches to combat entrenched systems that lead to inequity. Please be prepared to share your webcam and audio to participate.
