Asking Different Questions in Climate Science is a seminar for climate scientists and researchers more broadly who seek to integrate equity more deeply into their research. Participants will learn how to more deeply integrate socio-cultural factors into their work. Topics covered include how historic bias still influences current scientific practices and how to address this, conducting meaningful community-engaged research, working with tribal nations, improving modeling through deeper incorporation of equity, and other relevant areas. Course materials will draw upon research in ethnic studies, feminist theory, indigenous sciences, and science & technology studies.

The course will be offered on Wednesdays from 9-11:50 am for 4 credits as STS 298. Please contact Sarah McCullough for the CRN.
