A Five-Part Conversation Series

The conversations continue on June 7, 2023
at our next virtual event
on Creating Disability-Inclusive Workforces and Workplaces

Thank you for helping to kick off the Disrupting Ableism and Advancing STEM Series! The June 5th Hybrid National Leadership Summit helped us set the stage and build a collective understanding of disability identity, workplace ecosystems, systemic institutional barriers limiting career advancement, and access and inclusion practices and policies that support and advance persons with disabilities in the STEM. Together, we have only started to explore these topics.
Please join us for the next four events in this series as we further examine these concepts and more!

Registration is still open for all upcoming events!

This session will focus on the important role of mentorship in supporting students and workers with disabilities in the STEM ecosystem.  We will learn from the science of mentorship about principles of mentorship and proven approaches. We will also discuss the importance of belonging, learn about the benefits of mutual mentorship among peers, and hear from multiple mentor/mentee pairs about their own experiences and their recommendations for others.

This session will focus on the important role of education in preparing students with disabilities as they enter the STEM ecosystem. Discussions will focus on the need to challenge assumptions about who can learn and succeed in STEM and the need to make direct changes to policies and practices to facilitate positive educational experiences for students. Examples will include asset based approaches to learning in classrooms, laboratories, online, and in the field.

Rooting out Bias and Barriers on June 16th: PDF Agenda<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nationalacademies.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5dc4a6f3f17fd11adf3be4912&id=43765022c2&e=1349f8f1c0__;!!C5qS4YX3!EpDZnUYmQeQvZPcJQhw73v8Zww472Dy0S0OM08HLKI7PiIBd7RdDecr31TYCI21Kngc_LQ0WNQoi9Q$>

This session will focus on the need to decrease bias and know down barriers to facilitate full participation of people with disabilities in the STEM workforce. Discussions will focus on the need to critically examine environments (both physical and otherwise) to find the structures and policies and attitudes that limit participation. Tools for examining barriers will be presented and strategies for overcoming barriers will also be shared. In addition, this wrap up session for the series will conclude with remarks from the planning committee members on what they have learned from the process, the sessions, and the participants that can inform future work to better include people with disabilities in the STEM workforce.

Panels and presentations explored issues related to the accessibility and inclusivity of STEM workplaces for persons with disabilities. With asset-based and intersectional approaches to understanding the experiences of persons with disabilities across STEM workplaces, the agenda included discussions of disability identity, workplace ecosystems, systemic institutional barriers limiting career advancement, and access and inclusion practices and policies that support and advance persons with disabilities in the STEM.

The recording for this event will be available after the conclusion of the series.

The National Academies are committed to enhancing diversity and inclusion in order to strengthen the quality of our work. Diverse perspectives contribute to finding innovative approaches and solutions to challenging issues. We encourage the participation of individuals who reflect the populations we serve and in particular those from underrepresented racial, ethnic, gender and sexual identity groups, people with disabilities, and early- and mid-career professionals.
