Over the past three decades, the Harvard Forest Summer Research Program in Ecology (HF-SRPE) has been at the forefront of expanding the ecological tent for minoritized or otherwise marginalized students. By broadening the definition of ecology to include fields such as data science, software engineering, and remote sensing, we attract a broader range of students, including those who may not prioritize field experiences or who may feel unsafe working in rural or urban field sites. We also work towards a more resilient society in which minoritized or marginalized students can work safely, in part by building teams of students and mentors. Teams collaborate on projects that require a diversity of approaches and create opportunities for students and mentors alike to support one another and share leadership. Finally, HF-SRPE promotes an expanded view of what it means to become an ecologist. We value and support diverse career paths for ecologists to work in all parts of society, to diversify the face of ecology, and to bring different perspectives together to ensure innovations in environmental problem solving for our planet.

拓宽生态思维

在过去的三十年里，哈佛森林夏季生态学研究计划 (HF-SRPE) 一直处于为少数族裔或其他边缘化学生扩大生态帐篷的前沿。通过将生态学的定义扩大到数据科学、软件工程和遥感等领域，我们吸引了更广泛的学生，包括那些可能不优先考虑实地经验或可能觉得在农村或城市实地工作不安全的学生。我们还致力于建立一个更具弹性的社会，让少数族裔或边缘化的学生可以安全地工作，部分方法是建立学生和导师团队。团队合作开展需要多种方法的项目，并为学生和导师等创造机会相互支持和分享领导力。最后，HF-SRPE 促进了对成为生态学家意味着什么的扩展观点。我们重视并支持生态学家在社会各个领域工作的多样化职业道路，使生态的面貌多样化，并将不同的观点汇集在一起​​，以确保为我们的星球解决环境问题的创新。
