International Women’s Day was celebrated worldwide on March 8, 2023. The CGS joined in with three EDI-focused webinars, presented by women in the field of engineering.
March 6: Chloe Arson, Professor at Georgia Tech, University of Georgia (USA), presented an excellent talk on how to teach Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
March 7: Sumi Siddiqua, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, presented What does it take to create a diverse and inclusive research group?
March 8: Pooneh Maghoul, Associate Professor at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Quebec, Canada, gave a very inspirational talk on what it takes to belong to the geotechnical engineering community.
