The University of Rhode Island’s Metcalf Institute and the Inclusive SciComm Symposium Planning Committee invite you to register for the 2021 Inclusive SciComm Symposium, held virtually this year, October 14 – 16.

The Inclusive SciComm Symposium is designed to build and support a community that challenges the dominant, marginalizing norms of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and to promote science communication that values individual and group assets. This international convening of science communication and community engagement practitioners, formal and informal educators, scholars, trainers, and funders is an opportunity to share and discuss practical approaches to equitable public engagement with STEMM and meet the urgency of this moment. 

Who Should Attend the Inclusive SciComm Symposium?

If you study or practice communication related to STEMM with public audiences – as an educator, journalist, community organizer, activist, researcher, social media user, filmmaker, librarian, or in any other capacity – this symposium is for you. Join the growing movement to foster inclusive and equitable public participation in science, center marginalized perspectives, and build a greater sense of belonging in STEMM.
