| Abstract Title: | How can early-career members of our community shape inclusivity discourse and practice within physics? A Roundtable Discussion |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | As early-career members of our PER community establish themselves and begin to influence their local and broader academic communities, they have opportunities to initiate and shape conversations and practices that impact inclusivity in physics. How can early-career folks make the most of these opportunities presented in their classes, committees, and conferences while navigating their own challenges within existing structures? In this session, we will explore how we can leverage our experiences to improve the landscape of inclusivity for our students, upcoming colleagues, and ourselves. To guide our discussion, we encourage folks to read an article centered on the role of mentoring for early-career physics teachers (Cameron & Grant, 2017). The session will open with a brief introduction and proceed to a roundtable discussion about attendees' perspectives, experiences, and ideas for the future. We plan to conclude with time for networking and informal conversations. We welcome all members of the PER community while actively encouraging people that self-identify as early-career in PER to this roundtable discussion. |
