Diversity, inclusion, racism, sexism
- Growing up in Science and the Scientist Action and Advocacy Network jointly participated in the #ShutDownSTEM day of action through a workshop on allyship and anti-racism in science. We asked our audience for their comments in the following categories:
- (micro-)aggressions experienced
- (micro-)aggressions committed (by you or others)
- aspects of systemic racism that you find most urgent/actionable
- concrete steps you plan to take to be an ally and practice anti-racism
- Concrete steps for recruiting, supporting, and advancing underrepresented minoritized scientists
- Spark Society - organization to help advance the careers of
underrepresented minorities (URM) trainees in cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology
