Inclusion and Equity

 

Members of the Hetherington lab are committed to building and welcoming space where everyone is, and feels, included. We will apply ourselves to promoting these goals in our research team, our department, our university and across our scientific community, and in particular, in the field of Earth Sciences. We recognize that systemic injustice and bias impact our decision making processes, and commit to recognizing when and how these factors may influence our perspective and actions.

​

We will work to educate ourselves, promote dialogue, commit to listening, and work on implementing strategies and building a framework that creates a welcoming and fruitful environment for all people to pursue a their educational and research goals.

​

Personal growth is a continuous process and we commit to working on:

• Participating in appropriate professional development activities.

• Promoting departmental and institutional policies and actions that diversify our faculty, staff, students and visitors to campus

• Active engagement with community building through mentorship and communication.
