Abstract:
The geosciences, including paleontology, continues to be the least diverse scientific discipline. It has become imperative to change the underlying structure of our discipline to encourage participation of members from underrepresented groups to promote the growth and continued flourishing of our discipline. In this short course, we will offer a combination of presentations and workshops to provide knowledge and skills to paleontologists that can be applied in their workspaces and in the field. It is our aim to provide paleontologists with skills to not only help make paleontology a more just discipline, but to benefit their careers in the process.
