Powering the Next-Generation of Geoscience and Social Science Leaders
Powering the Next-Generation of Geoscience and Social Science Leaders
This is a research project funded by the National Science Foundation that seeks to improve the career progression and sense of belonging in the geoscience and social sciences through an innovative, hybrid mentoring program.
Traditionally, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and women are exceedingly underrepresented within the geosciences fields. Despite a growing consensus that the lack of diversity in science presents an inequity requiring action, decades of research, policies, and projects have shown that diversifying science is not as simple as encouraging women and minorities to earn university degrees in STEM (King et al., 2019).
We seek devoted and enthusiastic professionals in both the geoscience and social sciences:
Mentors:
Mentees:
Participants across the generations of geoscience and social sciences will be immersed in both a virtual 6-month mentoring program (provided at no cost) and 3 day in-person conference in New Orleans on March 7th-10th, 2024 (airfare, lodging, and meals fully paid by program).
