We would like to thank the organizers of 2020 SACNAS for giving us space to host a workshop in which we shared experiences, tips, and guidelines for folks who are interested in creating their own professional learning communities, especially in predominantly white institutions.


This was a special event for us, as the presenting team included 3 co-founders who founded the PLC in 2017, and 3 organizers who joined in 2018! Organizing a conference session during a pandemic is not an easy feat, nor is attending a virtual session at a conference with numerous overlapping sessions. We deeply appreciated the presence of 100+ attendees and thank the audience for the comments and thoughtful questions. We hope to continue to contribute to a community of like-minded STEM leaders who prioritize social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Date: Thursday, October 22

Time: 1-2 PM PDT (UTC-7)


This session will provide students and early career professionals with approaches for promoting equity and social justice in STEM disciplines. Panelists will share their process of establishing a learning community as an effort to create spaces of inclusion in fields historically dominated by white men.


Participants will be invited to imagine and consider how they might realize social justice outcomes at their respective institutions.
