Diversity

JEDI Task Force

The INSTAAR Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Task Force was formed in April 2020. It grew out of the Diversity Committee, which started in 2016.

Leadership

Following a period of strategic planning, the JEDI Task Force is following through with specific courses of action in 2021. Task Force leadership have divided responsibility for taking these actions forward into general topics of recruitment, retention, education for INSTAARs, and policy development.

Current actions

The JEDI Task Force is working with INSTAARs and collaborators on a number of priority actions.

Membership

Membership in the Task Force is voluntary. Currently there are 36 INSTAAR participants, including staff, students, professional research assistants (PRAs), postdoctoral scholars, and faculty.

Calls for membership are sent via email at the beginning of each semester. If you are interested in joining, contact instaarit@colorado.edu.

Please join in our round table as we consider All We Can Save: Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis. We are joining in One Book One Boulder, led by the Boulder Public Library, to engage with this profound and hopeful collection of contributions from diverse women at the forefront of the climate movement. Our conversation will center around the Advocate, Reframe, and Reshape sections of the book, but all are welcome and encouraged to participate no matter if you've read through the materials or not. If you'd like, pick up a copy of the book at the Bartlett Center, or find a plethora of ways to experience All We Can Save on the project website.
