Background:
Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are increasingly expected to work across various disciplines, and to have skills in several domains, to navigate ocean sustainability challenges. ECRs are well placed to innovate and champion new approaches to addressing critical research priorities. However: do Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) issues affect ECR participation in interdisciplinarity? What challenges or barriers to DEI are there to being an interdisciplinary marine researcher? How can DEI issues be better considered in research practices?
Session overview:
Join us for a virtual workshop to discuss the challenges and opportunities for progressing DEI in interdisciplinary marine science.
The workshop will begin with invited speakers who will discuss their work into DEI in interdisciplinary research as well as personal experiences. Following this, a series of small breakout groups will allow participants to discuss in greater detail DEI issues and opportunities, focused around three overarching questions:
The session will wrap up with a plenary and broader discussion session. Ingrid is one of the speakers who will be joining us and sharing her experiences. Discussions and insights from this meeting will be integral to help inform IMECaN’s strategic planning for 2022/2023. Additionally, all participants to the workshop will be invited to contribute as co-authors to a perspectives paper that will address the topics discussed at the workshop.
The network is endorsed by the IMBeR Scientific Steering Committee and bring together ECRs working on topics related to the IMBeR grand challenges
