Tools for transformation: a teaching toolkit and research pocket guide for advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in science and engineering
Advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in scientific fields is an outstanding challenge. While there is growing awareness of barriers and challenges to EDI across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), individuals may lack the knowledge and/or skills to effect change.

| description | Advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in scientific fields is an outstanding challenge. While there is growing awareness of barriers and challenges to EDI across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), individuals may lack the knowledge and/or skills to effect change. This Perspective article describes two resources we developed: (1) a Teaching Toolkit, entitled “Science is for everyone: Integrating equity, diversity, and inclusion in teaching science and engineering—a toolkit for instructors”, and (2) a Research Pocket Guide, entitled “Striving for inclusive excellence in science and engineering research: a pocket guide”. The Teaching Toolkit offers actions, activities, and tools specifically designed for instructors to implement in STEM courses. The Research Pocket Guide offers a dynamic reference tool that is useful to a broad range of researchers. Both resources are distributed under creative commons license and may be adapted for different institutions and contexts. The Teaching Toolkit and Research Pocket Guide are unique with their combination of colourful graphics and novel collections of actionable steps to engage with EDI concepts both in classrooms and research teams. It is our hope that these resources will catalyze change towards advancing EDI in STEM. |
