Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Considerations for Symposium Organizers
- Does your symposium submission represent the breadth of work being done on a topic by speakers with different demographic backgrounds?
- Are there individuals from typically underrepresented groups (e.g., early career professionals, non-male, non-White) who may have been overlooked that you could invite to be a part of your symposium?
- What resources (e.g., documents, webinars, blog posts, etc.) would be helpful to you and others in helping to recruit symposium organizers from underrepresented groups?
