W01.00001: Addressing Systemic Oppression in Physics: From Root Causes to Strategic Action Invited Speaker: Brian Nord It is reasonable to characterize the physics community as one that is united around a deep curiosity regarding the fundamental nature of the universe and the processes that produce the associated evidentiary data. Through that lens, I will examine how the physics community --- from institutions to individuals --- works to understand and address the roots of systemic oppression and marginalization of peoples in our research spaces. We will discuss multiple aspects of the symptoms and root causes of oppression; the social and organizational science research on the efficacy of diversity and inclusion initiatives; and recent developments in building community around new leadership modalities.

W01.00002: Evolving Physics to Support Underrepresented Communities Invited Speaker: Dara Norman Culture refers to the customs, institutions, and achievements of a particular group of people. The field of Physics has a culture and like other cultures, we have norms and values that are widely and institutionally recognized among physicists. If our field is to become more inclusive and supportive of underrepresented communities, we need to make changes to our norms and values. In this talk, I will discuss the need for formal institutional change in Physics and give examples of actions that can be taken to support this evolution of Physics culture. [Preview Abstract] |
