[LTER-diversity] Fw: Anti-racist field station follow up

[Johnston, Cora Ann (caj2dr)]

Hi LTER diversity folks,
I thought that the DEAI resource page on Tyson's site might prove of interest to some of you, both in form and contents.
I met Susan at the OBFS meeting last week and was interested in learning more about their plans to establish a model of an actively anti-racist field station.

See the link in Susan's original email.

Regards,
Cora

"Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.  We must embark on a cultural shift that places science in its rightful place...as an indispensable part of what makes life worth living."   -B. Greene

Hi Cora,

Thanks for connecting last week during OBFS. I’m following up about our work to try to make Tyson Research Center an anti-racist field station. We have recently released our commitment to social justice here: https://tyson.wustl.edu/deai and it might be a good place to start because it articulates our previous steps and way forward. I am completely transparent about our struggles and would be happy to talk sometime.

Regards,
Susan
