--Clancy et al: double jeopardy in astro: women of color face greater risks of gendered and racial harrassment.
--too many people saying they don't feel safe at work.
--40% of woc don't feel safe for their gender, 20% due to their gender. AT THEIR JOB as Lunarplanetaryscience. This does not even include the people who have left.
--so few women of color in astro & p.s. that if they broke up race beyond "p o c" they risked individually identifying women of color.
--too many decide that racism and sexism and harassment is ok.
--where to start? nashville recommendations:
---remove barriers to access. financial, gre scores, sterotype threat
---create inclusive climate: effective mentoring, address microaggr.
---improving inclusive access to power, policy, & leadership.
---establish community of inclusive practice: active measures to ensure your event, teams, groups, is inclusive.
