Part of our DiverSci Community of Practice on March 2023
The theme of the discussion is Holding Up a Mirror to Organizational Practices: An Equity Audit as a Tool for Change
It’ll explored how an audit can be used to support more equitable practice and sharing the learning from the Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) to spark wider learning.
Summary: Results from an equity audit can identify areas of strength to build on, as well as gaps and opportunities to address equity in an organisation’s or project’s structures and practices. Ultimately, an audit can help teams develop and monitor concrete plans and milestones. In 2021, the Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education, the resource center for the US National Science Foundation's Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program (AISL) program, conducted an equity audit to strengthen the resource center's commitment to equity and to engage in a process that we hoped to share with others interested in taking practical actions to achieve their equity goals.
