It aims to advance equity within the ISE field through cross-sector sharing of resources and ethical practices to establish long-lasting relationships, bolstering infrastructures to extend research capacity and expand access to funding, and promoting critical reflection and dialogue on historical and contextual factors that underlie systemic inequities in STEM. The Center also provides inclusive communication and evaluation that broadens participation and promotes organizational change and transformative social justice.
