Identity and Empowerment in science Workshop

Preparing scientists for the work of improving diversity and inclusion

Identity and Empowerment in Science is a three-part workshop for PhD students that equips them with the tools to make science more diverse and inclusive. The workshop begins with a language and a set of concepts to understand how identity affects people's experience of science. We discuss three levels at which privilege is reinforced, known as the three "I"s (Interpersonal, Internalized, and Institutional). Using these conceptual building blocks, we discuss strategies for self and mutual empowerment and directions for institutional change.
