Academia has no hope of addressing its lack of diversity if it doesn’t look inward, to address all the ways that it cultivates toxic environments and fails at creating a sense of belonging—at valuing other cultures, perspectives, ways of knowing.
Through a combination of history, perspective sharing, and deep discussion, Nurturing Equity in STEM (NEST) will help participants understand the roots of bias in science and medicine, the value that different cultures bring to an organization, and it will modify the metrics of success that we currently use—which are one-sided and rooted in what white, European society has valued for centuries.
