A mini-conference to foster community, coalition, and collaboration among diversity scientists in Oregon.
Many people express the hope that the current political climate’s antagonism toward diversity and the work of diversity scientists is transient—things will go back to ‘normal’ after the midterms or after the next presidential election or when the supreme court makes a particular ruling. But attacking diversity isn’t new and it isn’t going away. The goal of this mini-conference is to bring together scholars of Diversity Science—which we think of as anyone investigating strategies to reduce group-based discrimination and promote the inclusion of marginalized groups. We believe we best support each other and the communities we serve by building coalitions and fostering collaboration.
In this spirit, we invite all Diversity Science scholars across all disciplines to join us this fall at this year's Consortium of Diversity and Equity Scholars Conference, co-chaired by Dr. Chanel Meyers and Dr. Curtis Phills. We welcome submissions from scholars at all levels. Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Yvette M. Alex-Assensoh, an award-winning scholar, equity strategist, certified coach, and leadership consultant with over 25 years of experience working across higher education, non-profits, and global organizations. She currently serves as Vice President for Equity and Inclusion at the University of Oregon.
Registration for attendees and presenters is due by September 5, 2025.
If you're not presenting but still want to attend, we still highly encourage you to register! This is a great opportunity for students to network with scholars across many disciplines and learn more about diversity science as it affects us all.

Our community is thrilled to welcome Amy Bowers Cordalis as this year's lecturer.
