This $634,856 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance equity-minded pedagogical change in the geosciences field. The project will leverage formative interventions to design and implement two learning environments: 1) an 8-hour short course for instructors to learn how racial exploitation and settler colonialism have shaped the history and current practices of the geosciences, and 2) a 2-day in-person workshop to provide participants with tools for identifying and addressing problems of practice related to implementing pedagogical change within their academic departments. This research will yield a conceptual model and design principles to improve learning experiences and outcomes for historically marginalized students in the geosciences. The project period runs from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027, and is being conducted by the University of Wisconsin System.
