Sumant
Dear Colleagues,
AGU abstract submission closes on July 31. We look forward to your experiences
in making workplaces more inclusive for geoscience professionals with
disabilities. Submit an abstract to the following session and share your
experiences with your peers at the centennial AGU Fall Meeting, 2019 in San
Francisco.
*Session ID: 82989*
*Session Title: . Strategies to promote accessibility and inclusion for
geoscientists with disabilities in geoscience research and industry*
*Section: Education*
Accommodating students with disabilities in undergraduate geoscience
programs is becoming more prevalent. However, what is less known is the
support being provided for graduate level researchers and geoscience
practitioners in the workforce. This session aims to provide a platform to
discuss current best practices of accessibility and inclusion at research
institutions and in the diverse geoscience work environments from the
laboratory to the field. Further, this session will share resources
available to students with disabilities pursuing upper level research and
careers in the geosciences and how to overcome the barriers still present
in the geoscience workforce. Presentations in this session will showcase a
variety of examples from both research and industry where access and
inclusion is placed as priority to enable students and practitioners with
disabilities to pursue graduate level training and pursue geoscience
careers. Abstracts from all centers of employment (academia, research,
industry and government) are welcome.

you in San Francisco in December!
