A Cornell University Webinar on Safer Science
Join the conversation: #SaferScience
Original Post: https://cals.cornell.edu/saferscience
As a result of identity prejudice, certain individuals are more vulnerable to conflict and violence when they are performing scientific work in the field. To help create change and best practices, everyone within the scientific community will benefit from learning more about the risks some colleagues face performing fieldwork. Join this live webinar to learn more.
At this event, Amelia-Juliette Demery and Monique Pipkin will present their Nature Ecology and Evolution paper titled, “Safe fieldwork strategies for at-risk individuals, their supervisors and their institutions” (link to summary story). The paper presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion with inter-disciplinary experts in fieldwork and diversity and inclusion. Participants are encouraged to submit questions upon registration.
