Creating an Inclusive Environment

Our department strives to be an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe, valued, listened to, respected, and treated fairly.

This can be done at the department level or within individual labs through things like codes of conduct or group expectation documents.

Below are some examples of how to address issues related to power dynamics, microaggressions, privilege and intersectionality:
