Registration deadline: Tuesday, February 5
Responsible conduct of scientists is as important as the responsible conduct of research to maintain the health of the scientific enterprise. This webinar explores the nature of personal interactions and how they impact individuals in academic departments. Principles of professionalism (trust, responsibility, respect, fairness, and justice) will be introduced followed by examples of (un)professional behaviors that impact the “climate” of a department (e.g., microaggressions, implicit bias, bullying, sexual harassment, among others). Suggestions will be made on ways to assess your departmental work climate (e.g., strategies for empowering bystanders; climate surveys), and concrete examples will be provided on how to prevent (or mitigate) threatening situations should they arise. Final reflections on where, and by whom, appropriate professional behaviors should be taught in the Earth Science curriculum will be addressed.
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
- recognize principles of professionalism and how these are the foundation of departmental climate;
- identify behaviors among individuals in departments that impact the ability of ALL participants to achieve success;
- access strategies for assessing departmental climate, and develop plans to prevent, mitigate, and address behaviors that impact the quality of departmental life.
