My colleagues and I just published a paper synthesizing a town hall discussion at the Ocean Sciences Meeting (Feb. 2022). We asked participants about the challenges, initiatives and opportunities for JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) efforts in the field. The results were pretty interesting. Gatekeeping was identified as the number one challenge to broadening representation in the ocean sciences. We also compile a list of JEDI work that has been successful, and JEDI work that has been problematic. If you are looking for ideas on how to improve the culture in the earth sciences, take a look at some of the feedback we received during this discussion |
