项目摘要

The University of Southern California will conduct a workshop to identify and address issues that impact career pathways for African American students in physics and astronomy. Diverse experts from Pk-12, higher education, industry, and professional societies will convene to (1) identify evidence-based approaches to mitigating barriers to African American students? academic performance and workforce participation, (2) discuss strategies for more rigorous, third-party evaluations of programs or activities designed to increase the representation of African Americans in physics and astronomy, and (3) propose research topics focused specifically on underrepresentation in the physics and astronomy workforce. The two-day workshop coincide with the annual meeting of the National Society of Black Physicists and will employ a ?strengths-based, pathway model? approach to discuss an action-oriented, systematic, data-driven strategy to broaden the participation of African Americans in physics and astronomy. The workshop will result in knowledge that can be used by various stakeholder communities, including community colleges, to design effective interventions to reverse the negative trends in physics and astronomy. It also will catalyze collaborations to implement innovations to broaden participation in those disciplines.

南加州大学将举办一个研讨会，以确定和解决影响非裔美国学生在物理学和天文学方面的职业道路的问题。来自PK-12、高等教育、工业和专业协会的不同专家将召集会议，以（1）确定以证据为基础的方法来减轻非洲裔美国学生的障碍？学术表现和劳动力参与，（2）讨论更严格的，旨在增加非裔美国人在物理学和天文学的代表性的方案或活动的第三方评估的策略，和（3）提出研究课题，特别是在物理学和天文学劳动力的代表性不足。为期两天的研讨会恰逢全国黑人物理学家协会年会，并将聘请一个？基于力量的路径模型在这方面，我们将讨论一个以行动为导向的、系统的、数据驱动的战略，以扩大非裔美国人对物理学和天文学的参与。讲习班将产生可供包括社区学院在内的各利益攸关方社区使用的知识，以设计有效的干预措施，扭转物理学和天文学的负面趋势。它还将促进合作，实施创新，以扩大对这些学科的参与。
