Discussion Series
The STEM TIG Discussion Series is a series of virtual discussion sessions that happen every other month and focuses on topics related to equity, systemic racism, social justice, and evaluation. Sessions engage participants in discussion with colleagues, support reflection on our own professional practices, and foster new relationships across the field.
The discussion sessions are open to anyone interested in these crucial issues. We also welcome suggestions for discussion topics and facilitators. Please contact the Discussion Chair with any questions or ideas.
