Towards Equity, Inclusion and Belonging in Departmental Climate with Prof. Rigoberto Hernandez, Gompf Family Professor of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University 

• Date: Thursday, November 9 at 10:00 AM in the Wycoff Center
• Description: The Open Collaborative in Diversity Equity (OXIDE) is a partnership with the department heads of research-active chemistry departments, social scientists and other key stakeholders. The collaborative is aimed at institutional reform to lower inequitable barriers hindering the success of faculty from diverse groups. This conversation explores OXIDE's approaches to increase awareness of effective policies and practices that decrease inequitable barriers and improve the diversity climate in research-active chemistry departments and how these findings can inform the intentional management of inclusive excellence in academia broadly.
