Discussions on Race and Gender Inequality

In joint collaboration with Empowering Women in Science, ReJUS will co-host a monthly discussion series on racial and gender inequity in society and in STEM fields. We seek to:

- to understand the history of racism and the nature of racist ideology over different periods of time.

- to understand current events in the context of racist thinking

- to provide tools to recognize biases within ourselves, and in formal and informal institutional policies

- to utilize existing resources to learn how to be anti-racist

- to raise awareness of the problems faced by women and minorities in STEM which limits diversity and inclusion in science

- to provide opportunities for self-reflection and group-reflection in order to identify, challenge, and take accountability for personal biases and the harm they cause in our community
