As we are gearing up for a new academic term and considering how to make an impact in the teaching, research, and other work that we do, please consider registering for the Broadening Research and Instructional Design for Greater Equity in STEM (BRIDGES) conference being held virtually on January 31st and February 1st. The conference will encompass three main pillars: (1) promoting chemistry education practices centered around equity principles, (2) demonstrating how DEI principles can inform chemistry education research, and (3) breaking down academic silos to facilitate interdisciplinary knowledge sharing and skill building. Equity is central to these issues, and permeates through all of these pillars. Our goal is that you leave this conference with a plan of action for creating change both within and beyond your chemistry education practice.
For more information, including the conference schedule, speakers, and registration, please visit our website. The conference will consist of four sessions over two days; you are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions that fit with your schedule and interests. If you have questions, please email bridgesstem@gmail.com. We look forward to having you join us at the end of the month!
