Collaborative Research: Workshop: Engaging students in science for international decision making: Colorado, October 2019/ Chile, December 2019

环境科学与文化的交叉是环境可持续性的核心要素。了解一个特定社会的地理环境也提供了洞察社会在国际边界和跨边界问题，如大规模的环境问题的立场。让学生从社会和多元文化的角度看待科学是劳动力发展的关键部分，更具体地说，对于培养全球环境科学的学生领袖很重要。本次研讨会将有助于解决沟通技能提升所需的方法，并为学生提供在多元文化和多机构团队中工作的机会，以扩大他们对环境科学在当地社区和文化中的应用的看法。在国际背景下展示研究也为学生进入职业生涯提供了跨文化体验。向决策者传达科学知识是培养研究生和早期职业研究人员的关键部分。本提案为学生，特别是对全球环境问题的多元文化视角感兴趣的学生，以及具有环境科学背景和对环境科学与决策交叉感兴趣的学生，概述了一个独特的学习体验。虽然对经验和多学科学习有强烈的兴趣，但由于缺乏适当的机会，特别是对来自较小机构的学生或没有经济手段前往国际环境的学生来说，在国际谈判中进行环境研究的实践更加困难。建议的研讨会侧重于：(1)在获得国际专业经验之前，为不同的学生和其他人建立社区意识；(2)通过向全球观众介绍环境问题，为学生提供一个积极参与的平台；(3)在美国地质联合会（AGU）和美国生态学会（ESA）等专业学会制作学生主导的海报和演讲，作为学生专业发展的一部分；(4)为多元化和第一代学生提供社会群体和共享经验，以体验国际专业会议。重要的是，该研讨会将解决机构间的一个共同问题，即参加国际科学会议的学生没有准备好掌握快节奏谈判的复杂性。学生将从多机构团队的先进指导和经验共享中受益匪浅。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 1The intersection of environmental sciences and culture is a core element of environmental sustainability. Understanding the geographical context of a particular society also provides insights into that society's position on international borders and cross border issues such as large-scale environmental issues. Engaging students in viewing science through a societal and multicultural lens is a critical part of workforce development and more specifically, important in creating student leaders in global environmental science. This workshop will help address needed approaches for communication upskilling and generate opportunities for students to work in multicultural and multi-institutional teams with an eye towards broadening their views on the application of environmental science to local communities and cultures. Presenting research in an international context also provides students with cross-cultural experiences as they move into professional careers.Part 2Communicating science to decision makers is a critical part of preparing graduate students and early career researchers. This proposal outlines a unique learning experience for students, and particularly students interested in multicultural perspectives on global environmental issues with a background in environmental science and are interested in the intersection of environmental science and decision-making. While there is strong interest in experiential and multidisciplinary learning, it is more difficult to institute in practice for environmental research in international negotiations due to lack of suitable opportunities, especially for students from smaller institutions or without the economic means to travel to international settings. The proposed workshop focuses on: (1) building a sense of community for diverse students and others in advance of international professional experiences; (2) providing a platform for students to actively participate through their presentations to a global audience on environmental issues; (3) generating student-led posters and presentations at professional societies such as American Geological Union (AGU) and Ecological Society of America (ESA) as part of the student professional development; and (4) providing a social cohort and shared experience for diversity and first-generation students to experience international professional meetings. Importantly, workshop will address a common issue among institutions that students attending international science meetings are ill-prepared to grasp the complexity of fast-paced negotiations. Students will benefit greatly from advanced guidance and shared experiences through multi-institutional teams.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.
