Department of Astronomy 2023-2024 DEI Series Presents:
Dr. Floor Broekgaarden, Junior Fellow, Simons Society of Fellows at CCA/Columbia U./Flatiron Institute
"Ten Ways to Improve Resources to avoid and mitigate Harassment in Astronomy/Physics:"
Many scientists experience workplace incivility including bullying, (sexual) harassment, or racism in their career (either as target or witness). Finding support to navigate such situations is important, yet challenging, especially for early-career astronomers and underrepresented minorities. This contributes to the structural exclusion of those that experience or witness workplace incivility from our astronomy community. Here I suggest ten ways that departments, institutes, collaborations, and conference organizers can improve support for astronomers that experience or witness workplace incivility. Session will be discussion based.
