Advancing IDEA in Planetary Science : April 25–29, 2022, Virtual

Abstract

The planetary science community has initiated the much-needed conversations to delve into the full breadth of IDEA principles. There are many lessons learned and best practices from the experience of other Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. For example, the social sciences have revealed some of the psychological and sociological challenges that communities face when confronting and dismantling structural and systemic problems and have provided evidence-based solutions. In this conference, we will bring together the planetary, astrobiological, and social science communities to (1) lean into lessons learned to date, (2) identify opportunities for improvement by listening to those most impacted in our community, and (3) make recommendations for actionable and tangible measures for advancing IDEA principles within planetary science.
