Chemistry education is more than teaching students how to use the Periodic Table, balance chemical equations, and work in a lab. Educators are responsible for mentoring and developing the next generation of scientists who are far more diverse than meets the eye. Everything from the language we use, to the way we grade and structure our lessons, to the students we favor can betray unconscious biases and learned behaviors that risk alienation of students and the loss of budding scientists to other fields. Just as it is important to keep up with the latest science as our knowledge of the world evolves through experimentation, it is equally important that we challenge our traditional teaching pedagogy as our understanding of the human experience evolves as well.

Join ACS for this special Pride Month webinar with a trio of educators who are challenging the status quo in STEM education to create a more inclusive experience for all students.  Discover ways to support students with intersectional identities, evaluate and overcome the traditional binary in gendered language, and learn how far we've come in the last decade in regards to the LGBTQ+ experience in STEM programs.

This ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Respect.
