Uplifting experiences and courage to connect is the theme of the 2022 ESA Diversity Forum.

Event Description: The ESA Diversity Forum is a space for all to celebrate the people who enrich our science and our lives with different perspectives and different knowledges. We welcome all who bring novel approaches to science from their communities, those who wish to uplift others when hurtful things may have been said, and those who have stepped forward to remove barriers that have blocked pathways. Join us for an evening of reflection and networking to share experiences that have uplifted your identities, to inspire others on your courage as an ally or simply to ask questions that you may have been afraid to ask.

Group Name: ESA Education and Diversity Programs, SEEDS, Diversity Committee, TEK section and Inclusive Ecology section, Symposium for Women and Equity-seekers in Ecology and Evolution Today (SWEEET).
