Science Y'all's latest post features the efforts, reflections, and action items from the JSG discussion and meeting on June 10th. UT Jackson School of Geosciences

The meeting was organized by Hima Hassenruck-Gudipati (PhD 2021) and co-facilitated Dr. Tim Goudge. As the post states, the purpose of this discussion was to highlight "ways in which Black individuals may be excluded, barred, or unintentionally neglected in the school, and generate a plan to break down those barriers." We at Science Y'all encourage everyone in the JSG to read these reflections and recommended action items.

The post was collaboratively written by Jasmine Nelson (MS 2021), Hima Hassenruck-Gudipati (PhD 2021), Alison Tune (PhD 2021), Sophie Goliber (PhD 2022), and Kiara Gomez (PhD 2021).

In the coming weeks, Science Y'all will post another collaborative piece highlighting the ongoing and developing JSG initiatives and programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our community.
