Dialogues Conference Survey
Dialogues to RISE:
A series of annual multidisciplinary dialogues and sources of collective action focused on addressing the lack of diversity in the disciplines of audiology, hearing science, otology, and related fields (“the hearing disciplines”).
These Dialogues will focus on all groups underrepresented in the hearing disciplines, including race, socioeconomic position, and disability.
RISE stands for
1) Recognize that our lack of attention to diversity and inclusion within our professions has led to severe threats to inclusive patient care, equitable clinical outcomes, and research that is generalizable across populations.
2) Increase equitable access to and retention of underrepresented people pursuing graduate and medical degrees in the hearing disciplines, while providing a sense of belonging and community. Sessions will include discussions of ways in which access to advanced education can be expanded and assured for people from all groups currently underrepresented in the hearing disciplines.
3) Support all members of the community in becoming allies through education in appropriate mentorship, sponsorship, anti-ableism and anti-racism action.
4) Evaluate our success regularly and hold ourselves accountable to affecting real change.
The Dialogues to RISE will take place in coordination with an established meeting in the hearing disciplines, rotating among meetings each year.
This survey will help us plan the Dialogues to RISE conferences. Please let us know your interest in attending and/or contributing to such conferences and how we could organize the conference so that participation would be most convenient for you.
Thank you so much for your time. This survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
