Programmatic Offerings for Scientists
Reciprocal collaborations between communities and geoscientists can result in deeper and more comprehensive research findings and advocacy for change. That’s why we are transforming the geosciences into a field of study that prioritizes reciprocity and relationship with communities. View the ASPIRE programmatic offerings for scientists below.
For Everyone
Virtual Discussion Series
This 6-part series is designed for geoscientists and anyone else who wants who wants to explore the theories, principles, and practices that provide the foundations for engaged research with community partners. Take the discussion further by participating in supported Learning Circles.
For Post-Doctoral Scholars & Assistant Professors
Immersive Institute
The Immersive Institute is a dedicated space for postdocs to assistant professors in the geosciences who are on a mission to take their community-engaged research practice to a deeper level. We invite participants to invest their time in a week-long facilitated community research and learning experience.
ASPIRE Working Groups
The ASPIRE Working Groups seek to support deep partnerships between communities and geoscientists, creating opportunities to understand both aspects of how individuals (community members, geoscientists) contribute to these partnerships and how the collective is sustained.
Community of Practice
Members will build and deepen relationships in an intentional and supportive space as they implement community-engaged geoscience. This offering is invitational, however we welcome your inquiry about ASPIRE Community of Practice.
