AANHPI Heritage Month Panel – “Navigating the Bamboo Ceiling: How AANHPI experience the glass ceiling from a social scientist and geoscientist perspective”
- Open to all, live captioning will be available
- Date: May 9th (Tuesday) @ 1:00 - 2:30 PM Pacific Time / 4:00 - 5:30 PM Eastern Time
- Registration Link: https://tinyurl.com/aapiigbamboo

Goto (Professor of Psychological Science and Asian American Studies, Pomona College), Dr. Cin-Ty Lee (Harry Carothers Wiess Professor of Geology, Rice University), Dr. Bach Mai Dolly Nguyen (Assistant Professor of Education, Oregon State University), and Dr. Helen H. Yu (Associate Professor of Public Administration and Graduate Chair, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa)
- Highlighting the underrepresentation of AANHPI in leadership positions, the bamboo ceiling illustrates how the success of AANHPI in occupational attainment has not translated to the highest levels of leadership in both industry and academia. Learn more about what the bamboo ceiling is and how to navigate it from a panel of experts who have navigated through different structures and broad disciplines in higher education and academia!

Racial Disparities in Science Funding: Follow-up Discussion Workshop (BIPOC-only)
- Open to AAPI individuals as well as all other individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color (BIPOC), including mixed and multiracial identities; live captioning will be available.
- Date: May 31st (Wednesday) @ 1:00 - 2:00 PM Pacific Time / 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Eastern Time / (directly after the public talk by Dr. Chen, separate registration)
- Registration link: https://tinyurl.com/aapiigbipoc
- Discussion will be led by AAPIiG Steering Committee and co-organizers Akilah Alwan (Graduate Research Fellow, Auburn University; National Association of Black Geoscientists) and Dr. Darryl Reano (Assistant Professor, School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University; Acoma Pueblo).
- This is a closed 1-hour discussion following the public talk by Dr. Christine Yifeng Chen about systemic funding disparities. This discussion is intended to make space for participants to reflect on disconnects between broader scientific culture and their identities as members of marginalized groups in the context of persistent funding disparities. We encourage participants to share their personal observations and any commentary about the funding process; however, attendees do not need specific previous experience with NSF funding. Through our collective efforts, we hope to reimagine a more equitable and just future for scientific funding altogether.
- Registration is required to attend. Please note that this will be an active discussion space (webcams strongly preferred for all participants).
- For any questions, please contact Karen Pham at kvp22@psu.edu.
