Chronicle of Higher education article with recommendations on centering accountability in DEI statements.

Report of the Workshop to Promote Safety in Field Sciences that was organized by CSU Desert Studies and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership on 24-26 March 2021.

The recommendations focus on improving experiences for field participants of all backgrounds and identities.
