APS-IDEA
The American Physical Society - Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Alliance
I was a facilitator the Online Learning Communities and Topical Cohorts from 2021 - 2024, before the format of the programme changed.
I led monthly meetings with teams from the Physics Departments of various universities across the world, to guide and support them in transforming their departments towards a more inclusive one where physicists from all backgrounds could excel. I used research-based transformational methods, to help them utilise sensemaking, to create safe spaces and to develop roadmaps to promote change.
