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

第1部分在本次研讨会中，与实地经验相关的问题将通过教师、站主任和其他设计和实施实地课程、reu或其他经验的人的角度进行促进讨论。参与者将与其他参与者一起设计解决实地骚扰和文化偏见的框架，首先是一个4小时的小型研讨会，同时举行专业会议，许多实地站主任和管理人员，如来自美国生态学会的人员都会出席。来自小型研讨会的一小部分参与者将被邀请参加一个较长时间的秋季静修，该静修专为野外营地、站点和非正式经验的教师和主管设计，以解决包容和骚扰问题。选拔过程将基于在2020年春季/夏季学期安排了实地经验的教师。这些经历可以是正式的（在野外站）或非正式的（如公路旅行或营地）。鼓励早期职业教师提交实地实习的想法供考虑。第2部分：FIELD2研讨会将扩展主题，使用“设计开发”模式，具体解决学生和领域领导者的观点，参与者首先讨论并概述现有领域经验中多样性和偏见问题的设计，然后为学生体验开发课程，将多样性和包容性故事和问题纳入积极的领域经验。项目评估人员还将绘制从第一次小型研讨会到秋季务虚会期间教师对科学领域多样性、偏见和包容性的看法的进展情况。更广泛的影响包括将少数族裔学生更多地纳入积极的实地体验。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
