Produktbeschreibung

It is known that disparities exist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and more specifically astronomy and astrophysics disciplines, by gender, race, socioeconomic status, sexuality, and other dimensions of identity (and the many intersections thereof). A wealth of research has been dedicated to defining the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) problems researchers experience. Missing from the conversation are detailed reviews of what the field of astronomy has functionally accomplished, and critiques of what is actually working, especially among research collaborations.

This book responds to the critical need for astronomers to understand, operationalize, and assess the efficacy of DEI efforts on research collaboration. Within these three areas, it explores the historical context, present landscape, and best inclusion strategies that all astronomers should know while conducting science. The topics within implementation and assessment provided in this book are intended to benefit readers with the knowledge needed to remedy issues of marginalization and harassment in astronomy, and thereby increase the capacity for scientific exploration in the field.

While this book focuses primarily on astronomy, it looks to successes in other STEM disciplines where best practices have not yet been applied in astronomy. In addition, the opportunity for application of the core concepts within this volume expands far beyond astronomy; as the authors look to other fields for practice, they hope too that other fields will look to this book for insight and broader application.
