GLT: Unlearning Racism in the Geosciences: WWU Updates

The geosciences are among the least diverse fields within STEM. The conversations that started last summer about racism, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion should only serve as a starting point for creating an actively anti-racist environment in our department. 

URGE (Unlearning Racism in the Geosciences) is a four-month NSF-supported program aimed at facilitating anti-racism work in geoscience departments around the country. The WWU URGE “pod” consists of 14 members: undergraduates, graduates, staff, and faculty. 

The URGE pod will host 3 GLTs over the coming months aimed at updating the department on our conversations, findings, and recommendations.
Interested in following along with the URGE curriculum? The readings and videos are available at: https://urgeoscience.org/curriculum/
