SWS Women in Wetlands Section & Human Diversity Committee Webinar: Challenges and Advancements

September 30, 2024 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Women in Wetlands section and the Human Diversity Committee combine efforts for this webinar for our groups to discuss challenges and advancements in our respective sections.

The multifaceted nature of wetland ecosystems requires a disciplinary-diverse community of practice (e.g. ecology, hydrology, biogeochemistry) to advance our understanding of them. However, the diversity of wetland practitioners remains below par. Barriers to entry represent a significant obstacle to inclusion in the community of practice due to the lack of role models to guide their advancement. One such barrier is the sometimes field-intensive nature of wetland practice, which can place gender and racial minority practitioners into geographically or socially isolating conditions which stimulate discomfort and fears for safety. Negative experiences in these spaces can lead to disengagement which perpetuates the lack of diversity in the wetland sciences.

The goal of this webinar is to educate and encourage wetland practitioners to thoughtfully engage in efforts that minimize barriers to entry for the wetland’s sciences. Panelists will discuss the persistent barriers that discourage gender and racial minorities from further engaging in wetland sciences. We will also discuss ways that panelists have found success and broadened participation. We hope that this webinar inspires internal reflection, motivates engagement, and encourages participation from all.
