Webinar Description

This workshop is aimed at helping the geosciences answer recent calls to action by revising promotion and tenure (P&T) and evaluative systems to clearly value and reward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In this workshop, we will discuss geoscience faculty perceptions and engagement in DEI work, as well as perceptions of DEI work within the context of evaluative systems from recent nation-wide interview and survey results. Participants will be guided to work collaboratively and develop mechanisms by which they can meaningfully value DEI work within annual evaluations and P&T policies. Examples and suggestions will be shared with participants following the workshop. We encourage all interested geoscientists to attend and engage in dialogue around transforming our evaluation systems to honor, respect, and create equity within and beyond the academy.

Webinar Goals

  • Review evidence that professional efforts in DEI are not considered and are undervalued in P&T and annual evaluation systems
  • Explore frameworks that include, value, and reward DEI efforts in evaluation/P&T policies and procedures
  • Collaborate and generate a list of DEI efforts that support the achievement of participants' institution's values and strategic goals
