Honoring the Whole Student: Developing Good Practices for Supporting the Intersectionality of Diverse Undergraduate Students in Geoscience

非技术性学院通常只关注学生身份的一个方面，而不考虑整个学生的身份。这种过于简单化的身份认同让不同的学生感到疏远，因为他们的身份没有得到充分的理解、认可或支持。这一讲习班的目的是将来自七个代表性不足的社区(妇女、美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民、太平洋岛民、残疾人、第一代、非裔美国人和拉丁裔)的地球科学多样性领导人聚集在一起，培养一个网络，准备批判性地审查支持和指导认同不止一个不同社区的本科生的做法。这次研讨会将为与会者提供阿拉斯加土著海达部落土地上的地球科学微观实地经验和海达文化活动(重点是森林、植物和海洋生态)-目的是促进关于地球科学多样性的更广泛的讨论。技术研讨会的目的是将从事多样性和地球科学不同方面工作的教师和学术人员聚集在一起，开发一份10页的工具包，概述支持不同本科生在地球科学领域交叉的良好做法。与此次研讨会相关的问题是：1)教师和教职员工需要知道什么才能支持不同学生在地球科学领域的交叉性；以及2)如何加强教职员工的教学和指导实践，以更好地支持不同学生在地学领域的交叉性？在考虑开发工具包的潜力时，重要的是要考虑1)工具包中的活动将如何促进对多样性的理解，2)应该在何时何地使用工具包，以及3)一旦教职员工和学术人员使用了工具包，采取行动的潜力是什么？通过研讨会活动，参与者将参与这些问题中的每一个来支持他们自己的学习，以及参与课程开发以支持其他地球科学教师和学术人员与不同本科生一起工作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NontechnicalThe academy often focuses on one facet of a student's identity without regard for the identity of the whole student. This over simplified view of identity leaves diverse students feeling alienated because their identity is not fully understood, recognized or supported. The objective of this workshop is to bring together geoscience diversity leaders from seven underrepresented communities (women, Native American/Alaska Native (NA/AN), Pacific Islanders, disability, first-generation, African American and Latinx) to cultivate a network poised to critically examine practices for the support and mentorship of undergraduate students who identify with more than a single diverse community. This workshop will provide participants with geoscience micro-field experiences on Alaska Native Haida tribal land, and Haida cultural activities (focused on forest, plant and marine ecology)- with the goal of prompting broader discussions about diversity in geoscience.TechnicalThe purpose of this workshop is to bring together faculty and academic staff working in different aspects of diversity and geoscience to develop a 10-page toolkit outlining good practices for supporting the intersectionality of diverse undergraduate students in geoscience. The questions associated with this workshop are 1) what do faculty and academic staff need to know to support the intersectionality of diverse students in geoscience, and 2) how can the instructional and mentorship practices of faculty and academic staff be enhanced to better support intersectionality of diverse students in geoscience? In thinking about the potential of developing a toolkit, it is important to consider 1) how activities in the toolkit will boost an understanding of diversity, 2) when and where should the toolkit be used, and 3) what is the potential for action once faculty and academic staff have used the toolkit? Through the workshop activities, the participants will engage each of these questions to support their own learning, as well as engaging in curricular development to support other geoscience faculty and academic staff working with diverse undergraduates.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
