Welcome to the Lifting the Shadows session for the Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) meeting of 2024!
This session aims to create an open space to discuss the impact that disruptive behaviors – including sexual harassment and general mistreatment – have on the workforce, and to identify community-driven efforts we can adopt to protect better those that are most vulnerable.
The presentations will showcase key professional and institutional approaches such as mentoring practices, wellness promotion, and relevant policies. After the Q&A session, the speakers and audience will engage in an interactive workshop with group discussions about the topics presented, and with a focus on identifying what each one of us can do to help lift the shadows disrupting our community.
We envision this forum as a place to share thoughts, resources, and strategies, as well as a way to form alliances to generate community-driven efforts to better address disruptive behaviors.
The schedule for the session is:
- 2:00 - 2:20 PM- Shelly Lesher
- 2:20 - 2:37 PM - Rachel Younger
- 2:37 - 2:54 PM - Paul Sorensen
- 2:54 - 3:09 PM - Q&A with Speakers
- 3:09 - 3:48 PM -Interactive Workshop
(we are working on updating the DNP website for the session)
Check out the Introductions space to introduce yourself (if you would like to), and the open forum space to begin conversations. If a discussion line becomes strong, feel free to open a specific space for it.
As usual, be nice to each other (and to yourself). These are difficult topics that will affect everyone in a different way. Practice kindness and respect
