CSCCE Webinar ($): Hybrid events: Making hybrid events the best of both worlds
2021-09-14 11:00 - 12:30
As we move into the fall, it’s likely that some of us are beginning to consider what hybrid meetings might look like – where some attendees participate in-person from the same location whereas others join remotely. This can be a challenging format to facilitate to ensure that everyone feels included and able to actively participate – and especially that remote attendees don’t feel like an afterthought. In this interactive webinar we’ll equip you with checklists and best practices so that your hybrid meetings are the best of both worlds – virtual and in-person.

CSCCE Webinar ($): Event facilitation: Making decisions during your virtual meetings
2021-08-17 11:00 - 12:30
Multiple types of meetings from project coordination to group learning environments can require decision-making with the meeting attendees. There are numerous aspects to consider, including: how to negotiate power dynamics so that everyone feels able to express their opinions, what outcomes you’d like (e.g., shortlisting, one final decision, consensus-building, and crowd-sourcing different perspectives). In this interactive session we’ll walk through decision-making structures, different tools and how to deploy them in a way that enables all attendees to contribute.

2021-05-18 12:00 - 13:00 | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89811986264?pwd=[REDACTED]
Many data science and data science adjacent organizations are grappling with the ethical implications of the work led by their communities and the field more broadly. Often, these ethical considerations spill over into other areas of importance such as supporting an equitable, diverse, and inclusive field. Join your fellow CSCCE community members to talk about how our data science (and adjacent) communities are addressing ethics questions at the community level, and how we might work together towards common goals.

The second session will take place on 27 April where we will be considering Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and facilitation. We will start the session with a panel discussion (please submit any questions here) followed by a breakout session to discuss the topics in more depth. Some of the issues we will be covering include:
-Clear understanding of your role as a facilitator;
-Vocabulary to address issues of equity and inclusion;
-Skills, strategies, and practice on how to create an inclusive environment;
-Strategies to assess and de-escalate tensions around issues of difference.
Come ready to learn from our speakers, and to share some of your own thoughts on the role of community managers as facilitators in creating a scientific research ecosystem that is equitable and co-created.
