Publisher's Synopsis
This volume constitutes a collection of chapters that highlight scientific and professional societies as agents of change for more inclusive STEM communities and leadership. Each chapter features a case study spearheaded by a team of authors chronicling one aspect of a scientific community in their efforts to become a more inclusive and diverse collective.
Why case studies? Case studies are a powerful tool in revealing process and implementation details that can help societies take action towards more inclusive STEM communities. Case studies are also well-known for their ability to facilitate discussion and reflection-things this book aims to foster.
