Inclusive Astronomy

The EIJC Considers the Inclusive Astronomy Meetings.

We will discuss the Inclusive Astronomy meetings that took place in Nashville in 2015 and Baltimore in 2019. In addition to summarizing their format, content, and the Nashville recommendations that stemmed from the 2015 meeting, we will comment on some of the lessons learnt from these meetings.

Before the session, please watch this talk (~45 minutes) from the 2015 Inclusive Astronomy meeting by Lydia Brown, entitled Establishing a Community of Inclusive Practice.

We will spend about 20 minutes presenting the material, followed by 20 minutes in breakout rooms to discuss some deeper questions in small groups, and end with a ~15 minute whole-group discussion.
