Steven Lower, professor and director in the School of Earth Sciences, and Wendy Smooth, associate professor of women's, gender and sexuality studies and associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the College of Arts and Sciences, are co-PIs on a proposal that aims to advance knowledge of the barriers within geoscience academia that prevent the development of diversity champions and help identify strategies to create and sustain cohorts of diverse leaders in geoscience at Ohio State and within the Big Ten Academic Alliance. The proposal was awarded a $100,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
