Speaker and Event information
Dr. Aradhna Tripati (she/they) is an Associate Professor at UCLA Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Founder and Director of the Center for Diverse Leadership in Science, the nation’s first university center for diversity in environmental science. CDLS annual report
She has received numerous awards for her research in paleoclimatology and clumped isotope geochemistry, for her education and outreach programs, and received a Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering from President Obama and the White House Office for Science, Technology, and Policy, and the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award. And she's been on Jimmy Kimmel Live and CNN!
Accessibility: We aim to make this invite as accessible as possible. The keynote talk will have CART captioning (enabled by clicking the CC button) and ASL interpreters (will be visible and pinned in the Webinar). Please email Jenn WA (unpackingdiversity.ceoas@gmail.com) for requests related to the Undergraduate Event and Thi Truong (truonthi@oregonstate.edu) for requests related to the Panel Discussion.
Over the past two years, we have invited you to join our sessions to learn about disability and ableism, the history and social context of oceanography and geology, and strategies to build an inclusive culture. We are grateful that folks still attended as we transitioned to virtual sessions over Zoom.
We planned to conclude the year with a facilitated session by an OSU scholar who had improved their departmental climate, and offered a case study for us to explore. While we successfully hosted three Unpacking Diversity sessions, our schedule did not permit a final session where we could learn from a case study...
Fortunately, this year's Unpacking Diversity invited keynote speaker is a celebrated scientist who is known for their model of transformational leadership across the Earth and environmental sciences. We are thrilled to announce the 2021 Keynote Speaker, Dr. Aradhna Tripati, from UCLA, to share her findings about transformative change at the institutional level.
