Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

As a team and as part of a broader academic community, we must recognize that institutionalized discrimination  - based on race/ethnicity, gender identity, disability, age, socioeconomic status- persists in higher education and within the science community.  We acknowledge that individuals have multiple identities, and that intersectionality creates complex forms of aggresion that need to be discussed and fight against it.

We are committed to fostering diversity within every avenue of our work through cultivating anti-discrimination and equity-minded approaches. We acknowledge that commitment to JEDI is on going work. We are all learning, and kindness when mistakes are commited will always be the first approach. 

This statement serves as a living document that is re-visited and revised each semester.
