The APECS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Project Group has curated a repository of resources based on their relevance to the APECS community and others working in polar regions. We have included resources specifically related to polar research in addition to more general resources with insight on STEM, academia, and fieldwork. These resources are grouped into one or more of the following categories: Safety in science, Gender, LGBTQIA+, Ethnicity, Parenthood, Indigenous communities, Disability, Community Guidelines, Networks. We welcome suggestions for additions to our resource repository. Any further questions can be directed to inclusion@apecs.is.
The DEI Project Group collaborated with the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) to organise two workshops, facilitated by THRIVE Lifeline, in December 2023 to address three main topics: understanding intrinsic bias and how to challenge our biases, what microaggressions are and how to be an active and effective bystander. Following the workshops, three PDF resources on the topics covered in the workshops were developed.
