Description

In recent years, increased attention has been devoted to the issue diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in societal engagements, in particular in the scientific disciplines. Many institutions have been making efforts—with various degrees of commitment and success—to improve DEI within the context of their institutional activities. During the recent particle physics prioritization exercise, aka Snowmass, we studied the lack of diversity in high energy physics and made recommendations for improvement. In this talk, I will review the work done in Snowmass on DEI and offer suggestions about what is needed, beyond the institutional efforts, to make impactful progress on DEI issues.
