About

Since the release of the National Academies consensus report Advancing Antiracism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEMM Organizations: Beyond Broadening Participation in February 2023, the overall landscape of ADEI in the United States has shifted within national and local contexts. The Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences will host a dissemination event on January 29-30, 2024 that will acknowledge new challenges to advancing ADEI in STEMM and provide space for focused discussions on the practical implementation of several key recommendations in the report. The event will include sessions on strategies for forming partnerships with Minority Serving Institutions, responding to resistance to change, fostering inclusivity at the teams and organizational levels, and the role of gatekeepers in fostering ADEI.
Please note that we will not post a recording of this event and registration is required to receive a link to view the live webcast.
