[LTER-diversity] Fwd: Fw: [Feb. 17 Webinar Invite] Safer Science: Strategies to protect at-risk researchers when conducting fieldwork

Thu Jan 28 07:54:20 PST 2021

Dear LTER Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee,

This webinar hosted by Cornell Graduate School's Office of Inclusion and
Student Engagement seems of particular interest to those working within the
LTER Network, and they have supported it being shared widely so we thought
it would be worth passing along. Perhaps we will see some of you there!

Also, just a heads up - Cora and I will be contacting the working groups
that we decided on during our last committee meeting over the next week
just to touch base and make sure everyone has a gameplan leading up to
those working sessions, so keep an eye out for an email from one of us.
Thanks :)

Take care,
N

As a result of identity prejudice, certain individuals are more vulnerable
to conflict and violence when they are performing scientific work in the
field. To help create change and best practices, everyone within the
scientific community will benefit from learning more about the risks some
colleagues face performing fieldwork. Join this live webinar to learn more.

At this event, Amelia-Juliette Demery and Monique Pipkin will present
their *Nature
Ecology and Evolution* paper titled, “Safe fieldwork strategies for at-risk
individuals, their supervisors, and their institutions” (link to the paper

inter-disciplinary experts in fieldwork and diversity and inclusion.

*The Graduate School Office of Inclusion & Student Engagement acknowledges
that Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the
Gayogo̱hó**꞉nǫ’ (the Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó**꞉nǫ’ are members of the
Haudenosaunee Confederacy

an alliance of six sovereign Nations with a historic presence on this land.
The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York
State, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history
of Gayogo̱hó**꞉nǫ’ dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of
Gayogo̱hó**꞉nǫ’ people, past and present, to these lands and waters. We
encourage all who engage with Cornell University to learn more about the
Gayogo̱hó**꞉nǫ’, their history, and people, and to take meaningful action
to support indigenous scholars and their communities.* *We also encourage
all to learn more about the American Indian and Indigenous Studies
