Empowering (geo)scientists to transform workplace climate
The Earth Science Women's Network, Association for Women Geoscientists and the American Geophysical Union partnered to address the problem of sexual and other types of harassment and other exclusionary behaviors, such as bullying, discrimination and identity-based aggressions, that lead to hostile working and learning environments in the earth, space and environmental sciences with two four-year, $1.1 million grants from the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program. A primary goal of the project was to improve workplace climate conditions by developing bystander intervention education for department heads, chairs, faculty and grad students to appropriately respond to and prevent harassment, bullying and other exclusionary behaviors in research environments.
