ADVANCEGeo Workshops
Our work is based on a community model for intervention training for organizational leaders, faculty, staff, and students that identifies sexual and other types of harassment, bullying and discrimination as scientific misconduct and equips individuals, teams, and departments with skills to 1) recognize ways in which exclusionary and harmful behaviors manifest in different research and educational settings and how they are experienced by people of different gender, racial, ethnic and other identities, 2) implement direct and indirect behaviors to stop harmful behaviors, 3) produce, implement, and enforce ethical codes of conduct, and 4) educate themselves about resources to reduce the harm caused by harassment, bullying and other exclusionary behaviors that create hostile workplaces and contribute to low diversity in STEM fields. A main goal of ADVANCEGeo is to produce material that can be adapted to different training venues, including in-person and online, for departments, and for broader audiences at scientific conferences as well as different disciplines.
