[LTER-diversity] Fwd: [obfs-mail-list] Recommendations for safety and inclusion in field and ocean sciences

[Marty Downs]

Dear DEI Committee members and Lead PIs,
We'll include this workshop report as our DEI resource of the month in the
November  newsletter, but I wanted to specifically call it to your
attention.

Its recommendations are thoughtful and actionable at many levels--from the
field crew and individual relationships to the level of institutions and
funders.

I think if you scan for your situation--be it field site and short-term
actions or programmatic and long term strategy--you will find reliable,
well-vetted resources and recommendations for building an effective DEI
plan as well as actions you can start  implementing immediately.

Thanks,
Marty

In March 2021, California State University Desert Studies and the
Consortium for Ocean Leadership held the Workshop to Promote Safety in
Field Sciences. This workshop focused on addressing the special problems of
remote research settings in harassment prevention, target support, and
incident response. About 70 participants representing field practitioners
from across the natural sciences and social scientists with expertise in
the causes and impacts of gender-based harassment attended this three-day
virtual meeting.



The workshop resulted in 52 recommendations targeted at improving field
science culture change, as well as misconduct accountability, policy, and
reporting. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) and trainings
were additional cross-cutting topics. The recommendations focus on
improving experiences for field participants of all backgrounds and
identities*. *They represent a starting point to inspire and guide
scientists, ocean platforms, field stations, academic institutions,
professional societies, funding agencies, and other actors in field science
in improving the science environment in a collaborative, community-based
way. The workshop report of recommendations is available at
