[Female-math-faculty] Invitation to join RISE Inclusive Innovation research

[Ghazal Geshnizjani]

Dear Math Colleagues,


Are you interested in learning evidence-based strategies for promoting a
culture of inclusion for all people working in science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) fields?


You are invited to take part in an innovative, federally funded gender
equality research project on advancing inclusion in the workplace, using
the sign-up link below. The research involves a 3.5-hour virtual workshop
in October or February, with surveys before and after.  The workshop and
surveys cover topics related to organizational values, gender and ethnic
diversity in teams, effective communication, and promoting an inclusive
culture through allyship.

You are invited to volunteer using the sign-up link below if you work more
than half time in a STEM discipline related to science, technology,
engineering, or math.

Organizational change is most likely to occur when people work together and
so we ask that you and a colleague of a different gender participate
together as “research partners.” Ideally, you work with this person
regularly (several times a week) and your STEM roles are at a similar
level. You and your research partner will be invited to work together on
fostering positive, inclusive norms in your teams or organization(s). If
you cannot partner with a colleague, you are still encouraged to sign up,
but pairs will receive priority for workshop spots; individuals will be
invited (and paired) if space permits.

For more details about time commitment, data privacy, and participants'
rights, please see the consent form in the sign-up survey or the FAQ (link)
<https://projectrise.ca/uw/#faq>.

To participate:


   1.

   Invite a research partner (of a different gender) to sign up (and give
   permission to name them as your partner) by forwarding a colleague this
   email. The sign-up survey below gives an invitation template.
   2.

   Fill out the volunteer sign-up survey: Volunteer Sign-up

   3.

   Check your email for confirmation of workshop registration and surveys.


This project has been reviewed and received clearance from the research
ethics boards at the University of British Columbia and the University of
Waterloo.
