Uplifting overshadowed voices within science, one story at a time.
Are you getting the full story? The role of the storyteller is a powerful privilege. The tales we tell have the power to inspire curiosity, change perspectives, set standards, and share information. Yet, not every narrator is granted an equal platform.
In this new three-part series we critically examine the role storyteller privilege plays in what’s taken as fact, and create a space to uplift previously overshadowed voices within science.
Share your story—and hear ours—at three unique evening events* on May 18, June 1, and June 29. All events are 6-10 pm and 21+.
*Featured talks at each event will be held in both English and ASL.
