BAUM LAB PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The Baum Lab supports and celebrates each member as individuals as well as scientists.
We recognize that everyone has a unique background and our experiences may differ. We are committed to fostering and maintaining an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment, regardless of gender, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, disability, religion, nationality, immigration status, parenthood status, age or socio-economic background.
We have zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment of any kind.
We will support individuals concerned with or experiencing discrimination or harassment by providing an open and supportive atmosphere, speaking up on their behalf when appropriate, and guiding them to the support and resources that they need.
We acknowledge that we have work ahead of us to diversify our lab (although we have always had
gender diversity, we have been, and continue to be a mostly white lab, and this is not okay).
We will harness our collective privilege, skills, knowledge, and networks to increase equity and diversity in STEM,
and to promote the wellness of systemically marginalized groups. We commit to promoting equity and anti-racism in the lab, department, university, and society through continual education and action.
We acknowledge with respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands
and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
