The dialogue around diversity, equity and inclusion is broad and growing. This introduces the need for common vocabulary to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Words often have different meanings; depending on lived experiences words might hold different meanings for different people. The purpose of this glossary is to promote dialogue around equity and inclusion. This glossary is not meant to be
exhaustive, since language is continuously evolving. The main goal is to provide a basic framework around this conversation. Diversity and inclusionDiversity is more than a word, more than an ideal and more than the attainment of a particular quantifiable goal. Diversity is the realization of difference and of inequity and understanding of power and privilege. It is balanced by inclusion, the desire to create equal opportunity and further, realize that a diverse community is stronger, richer and more sustainable than one which actively, or passively, excludes people who are different. Diversity and inclusion create excellence. We invite students, faculty, postdocs and staff to come together in dialogue through an exchange of ideas and debate. Inclusion is the journey we travel to understand the roots of our identities and disciplines, and recognize how our scholarship both affects and is shaped by society and culture. We believe that unbounded inclusion is foundational to effective interdisciplinary scholarship. As we broaden our community, we strengthen our ability to identify key issues, frame questions and address issues that span earth sciences, natural resources and human dimensions. Diversity, in all its forms, is not only desirable, but also required for advancing our understanding of the environment and arriving at solutions that allow science to more effectively serve all of humanity.
