View the IAGD Executive Committee’s message to the IAGD community.
Disability intersects with all other identities. Specifically, we recognize that individuals that sit at the intersection of race and disability face significant and complex daily barriers in society. We will never make our discipline accessible and inclusive without recognizing and addressing the barriers that all marginalized groups face. We have set aside this space to share resources about race and disability and race/racism issues in the geosciences. This to be a living document that will grow over time. Please contact info@theIAGD.org if you have resources you would like to share on this page.
