WOW Community – Change. It’s what’s on the table
Thursday, June 16, 2022 – 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Change. It’s what’s on the table
Hosted by – Women of Wildlife Community Team
We hear a lot about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) these days. What do these terms mean to you and what changes are needed for the wildlife profession to become more inclusive? We’ll start with the type of change that will help our DEI efforts and profession grow, then provide some uplifting examples of successful allyship for underrepresented groups in wildlife. You’ll hear from 3 of the 42 authors of the upcoming book “Women of Wildlife Science: Building Equity, Diversity and Inclusion,” (https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/12272/women-wildlife-science). This book provides practical advice on how to be an ally and support women, LGBTQ+, People of Color, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities. We want to highlight a path forward to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion. The 3 authors are Diana Doan-Crider, Mamie Parker, and Katie O’Donnell.
But wait, there’s more! As part of this webinar, we would appreciate your assistance with implementing our DEI Vision and developing our action plan. We will provide short pre- and post-webinar surveys that will enable us to improve the plan. Registrants will receive an email with a link to the pre-webinar survey prior to the webinar, and an email with a link to the post-webinar survey directly after the webinar concludes. These optional surveys will be anonymous, and we encourage you to give us your thoughtful input. Results of the surveys will be shared with TWS Council, staff and members.
