[All-postdocs] Fw: [Events] Using Collective Impact to Change how we Conduct Geoscience and Broaden Participation

Mon Jan 22 10:10:52 EST 2024

Hey postdocs,

If you're attending the DEI seminar tomorrow, consider going to lunch with the speaker afterward. I went to lunch with a previous speaker and it was great!

Send an email to Natalie Nevarez (natalie.nevarez at whoi.edu) if you're interested.

Cheers,
Alex

This talk explores the use of collective impact, a model for community engagement, to advance science and to make science responsive to community needs, especially communities that have traditionally been underserved. The status of geosciences in terms of diversity will be presented, highlighting where progress has been made, and the current climate for minority geoscientists. Dr. Velasco will introduce collective impact as a means of advancing science, and creating a culture of inclusion that, we hope, will transcends deficiencies in the culture of modern science. The collective impact approach develops a network of community members, organizations, and institutions through the framework of a common agenda, centralized support, continuous communication, mutually reinforcing activities, and shared measurement. Finally, he will present two National Science Foundation funded projects that use collective impact as a means of advancing the geosciences: the Center for Collective Impact in Earthquake Science (C-CIES) and the Community-drive Inclusive Excellence and Leadership Opportunities in Geoscience (CIELO-G).
