Diversity and Inclusion journal club (for physics and our friends in related fields) is a forum to have meaningful, respectful conversations about issues surrounding diversity and inclusion with a focus that is specific to our STEM fields.

Next Meeting: Thursday, September 12th, 10:30am -11:30am in PSB 403.

The article for discussion is: Buranyi, Stephen. “Rise of the racist robots – how AI is learning all our worst implulses.” The Guardian. Aug. 8, 2017.

You are welcome to join the conversation even if you haven’t had a chance to read the article ahead of time.

We hope that many of you will be able to attend,

Jenny Wurster and Craig Wiggers
