Abstract: In this presentation, I will discuss and examine the ways in which physicists have engaged in diversity work. I will utilize a framework for three major approaches to doing diversity work:
- Acknowledging and naming
- Affirming
- Removing barriers
These approaches will be examined with goals of attending to the affordances of existing diversity work and identifying the constraints for those currently seeking to diversify the field. I will then go in more depth about research efforts aimed at addressing diversity in graduate school.
