NISO is pleased to announce our upcoming virtual training series, DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape. Whether you are at the beginning stages of DEIA work or currently spearheading a well-established DEIA program, this training offers everyone an opportunity for progress.
DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape
Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)
June 6–August 1, 2024
This training series is designed for individuals at all stages of their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) journey. It will cover topics such as expanding representation in scholarly communications, understanding the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) as it relates to DEIA, implementing standards and processes in the industry to promote equity, and taking steps to address past harms and deconstruct inequitable systems. Each session will feature guest speakers who will offer expertise on advancing DEIA work in scholarly publishing; attendees will have the opportunity to learn from and engage with these experts-and with each other-in a collaborative forum. Attendees will emerge from the course with insights from established professionals in their field, an expanded network of peers with a shared commitment to DEIA, and actionable steps to advance DEIA within their organizations.
