This event has been developed to learn more about policy implementation and
leadership at MGH and the Martinos Center with Dania Daye, MD, PhD and Julie
Price, PhD, with the MGH Department of Radiology Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion Committee, which is committed to addressing disparities and
enhancing equity in local communities. Julie Price also a leader at the MGH
Center for Diversity and Inclusion.

Following the effort at HMS to include service in groups working towards
improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in STEM as supporting
activity for the promotion process, we recognized that we knew very little
about the steps necessary to implement policy. WiS members had been
interested in creating policy change and realized that we could learn from
experts. We will hear about previous policy efforts from our speakers and
will leave substantial time for discussion in the hope that this event will
help motivate and empower all who seek cultural changes in academia and in
the world.

The WiS Committee recognizes that those who are under-represented usually
undertake the work necessary to make important advances in DEI but often
remain invisible. Importantly, the time and effort are not often accounted
for, or fully understood by those who have traditionally held positions of
power. We hope that this event might inspire those interested in DEI work but
who have not yet taken up participation in the many relevant groups serving
Harvard/MGH due to not knowing how to effect change or what to do in the face
of the glacial pace that we must face in relation to social justice,
inclusion, and fairness for all in the workplace and beyond.
