Part 1: #Blackinphysicsweek Career Fair Information
Black Physicists are essential stakeholders in the physics community and provide a unique and necessary lens. However, the current physics climate often ostracizes valuable Black perspectives. The Black In Physics organization delivers a much-needed platform that focuses on the needs of Black individuals. By developing more community-based support structures to champion Black physicists along their journey, BIP is making space for Black excellence. To this end, BIP is holding its third annual #BlackInPhysicsWeek from October 24-28, 2022.
#BlackInPhysicsWeek is aimed at
(1) building lasting community for Black physicists at all career stages through culturally-centered programming,
(2) amplifying the work of Black physicists,
(3) commissioning historically significant articles written by Black physicists, and
(4) creating a complete picture of what a physicist looks like.
The purpose of this week is to connect Black physicists, particularly students, who may be a minority at their institution, to a community where they can connect with peers, meet potential mentors, gain resources on numerous professional topics, develop tools to succeed, and build new collaborations.
The 3rd annual #BlackInPhysicsWeek Career Exploration event will again be held in GatherTown and Zoom.
Black In Physics is an organization for Black physicists by Black physicists.
