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

非技术性的学院往往专注于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观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，承认或支持。本次研讨会的目的是汇集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（NA/AN），太平洋岛民，残疾人，第一代，非洲裔美国人和拉丁美洲人）的地球科学多样性领导人，以培养一个网络，准备批判性地研究谁认同一个以上的多元化社区的本科生的支持和指导的做法。本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体验和海达文化活动（以森林为重点，植物和海洋生态学）-以促进更广泛的讨论地球科学的多样性的目标。技术本次研讨会的目的是汇集教师和学术人员在不同方面的多样性和地球科学工作，以制定一个10-一个网页工具包，概述了支持地球科学不同本科生交叉性的良好做法。与本次研讨会相关的问题是：1）教师和学术人员需要知道什么，以支持地球科学中不同学生的交叉性，以及2）如何加强教师和学术人员的教学和指导实践，以更好地支持地球科学中不同学生的交叉性？在考虑开发工具包的潜力时，重要的是要考虑1）工具包中的活动如何促进对多样性的理解，2）何时何地应该使用工具包，以及3）一旦教师和学术人员使用工具包，采取行动的潜力是什么？通过研讨会活动，参与者将参与其中的每一个问题，以支持他们自己的学习，并参与课程开发，以支持其他地球科学教师和与不同本科生一起工作的学术人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且通过使用基金会的智力价值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.
