APS-IDEA Facilitating Second-Order Change and Empowering Teams

The American Physical Society's Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Alliance strives to empower and support teams from physics departments and laboratories to improve diversity, equity and inclusion at their home institution. The core principles of APS-IDEA are to center marginalized identities, utilize sensemaking, share leadership, and implement research-based transformational methods to achieve profound and lasting change. Recently, the program has shifted to a model of topical cohorts to support the formation of communities of practice around specific applications of the core principles.
