We are excited to announce Facilitated Dialogues for Inclusive Excellence in the Biosciences for UCLA faculty, staff, graduate students and postdocs. This will be a space for the UCLA life sciences community to engage in discussion immediately following the sessions in the “A Call to Action: Striving Towards Inclusion in Academic Biology Series”, an initiative sponsored by the Society of the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER) focused on promoting awareness, understanding, and commitment to change academic biology to be more inclusive. For more information, please visit SABER’s Diversity & Inclusion Efforts webpage.
Immediately following each SABER session, we will hold a dialogue for the UCLA Life Sciences, facilitated by CEILS. Please sign up to join the dialogue and you will be emailed a separate Zoom link.
SABER talks are Thursdays from 9–10 am PST and our dialogues will be immediately afterward in a separate Zoom room from 10–10:45 am starting January 21st to May 13th.
During this dialogue, we will create a brave space to reflect and share your ideas, thoughts and feelings generated by the presentation. We hope that by dialoguing about these topics, you will feel more connected to your colleagues and inspired to take action to address racism and inequities in higher education. Feel free to reach out to CEILS with any questions or concerns at [email protected].
Please see below for a list of upcoming SABER sessions.
