DEVELOPMENT ESSENTIALS
- URGE provided pods with an anti-racist curriculum that aimed to deepen the community’s knowledge of the effects of racism on the participation and retention of Black, Brown, and Indigenous people in Geoscience
- This curriculum drew on existing literature, expert opinions, and personal experiences to help participating pods develop anti-racist policies and strategies
- Pods shared their developed anti-racist policies and strategies with the rest of the Geoscience community
