COLDEX Seminar Series

COLDEX seminars are typically held on the first Monday of each month, usually at 11 am Pacific (though times may be adjusted for international speakers). We feature talks about ice core science from scientists within and beyond COLDEX. These seminars are open to the public - please email Managing Director Danielle Whittaker (whittdan at oregonstate dot edu) for the Zoom link.

All-Hands Meeting: Who decided what room temperature is comfortable for "All-Hands"? A discussion of professionalism and how this impacts the COLDEX community.

Professionalism is deeply rooted in the workplace. However, there are many systemic issues that discriminate against people from the historical non-majority with this social concept. In this interactive workshop, we will think about how we each learned about professionalism and about some of the deep-rooted biases that still lead to discrimination of workers today. We will work to answer the questions: 

  1. Who made the norms/rules? 

  2. Why do we still follow some of the norms/rules? 

  3. How can we reimagine what professionalism norms are for our polar science community?

Please note this workshop will touch on the topics of race, racism, gender, sex, sexual orientation, and white supremacy. We hope everyone can come to this workshop with a growth mindset.
