Workshop: FIELD2: Exploring Issues of Culture and Inclusion in Field Experiences for Minority Students with Faculty and Administrators: Bellvue, CO - July 2020

第1部分在本研讨会中，将从教师、站长和其他设计和实施基于实地的课程、雷乌斯或其他经验的人的角度，通过促进讨论来探讨与实地经验相关的问题。参与者将与其他参与者一起设计框架，以解决该领域的骚扰和文化偏见，首先是一个4小时的小型研讨会，同时举行一次专业会议，许多外地站主任和管理人员，如美国生态学会的成员，都出席了会议。小型研讨会的一小群与会者将被邀请参加一个较长的秋季务虚会，该务虚会是为教师和实地营地、车站和非正式经验的主管设计的，以解决包容和骚扰问题。选择过程将基于谁安排了2020年春季/夏季学期的实地经验的教师。这些经历可以是正式的（在野外工作站），也可以是非正式的（如公路旅行或露营）。将鼓励早期职业教师提交实地实习的想法供考虑。第2部分FIELD 2研讨会将扩大主题，特别是使用“设计开发”来解决学生和领域领导者的观点。参与者首先讨论和概述现有实地经验中的多样性和偏见问题的设计，然后为学生的经验开发课程，带来多样性和包容性的故事，把这些问题转化为积极的实地经验。项目评估人员还将绘制教师对多样性，偏见和包容性领域科学的看法从第一个小型研讨会到秋季务虚会的进展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

Part 1In this workshop, issues associated with the field experience will be explored by facilitated discussion from the perspectives of faculty, station directors, and others who design and implement field-based courses, REUs, or other experiences. Participants will work together with other participants to design frameworks to address harassment and cultural bias in the field, first in a mini 4-hour-workshop in conjunction with a professional meeting where many field station directors and administrators, such as from the Ecological Society of America, are present. A smaller group of participants from the mini-workshop will be invited to a longer fall retreat designed for faculty and directors of field camps, stations, and informal experiences to address issues of inclusion and harassment. The selection process will be based on faculty who have scheduled field experiences for the 2020 spring/summer semesters. Theseexperiences can be formal (at a field station) or informal (such as road trips or camps). Early career faculty will be encouraged to submit field practicum ideas for consideration.Part 2The FIELD2 workshop will expand on the theme to specifically address the perspectives of both students and field leaders using a "Design Develop" model where participants first discuss and outline designs for diversity and bias issues in existing field experiences and then develop a curriculum for student experiences that brings diversity and inclusion stories and issues into a positive field experience. Project evaluators will also chart progress of faculty perceptions on diversity, bias and inclusion in the field sciences from the first mini-workshop through the fall retreat. The broader impacts include greater inclusion of minority students in positive field experiences.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.
