This project aims to improve experiences and increase retention of Black, Asian and minority ethnic students in environmental research. Details here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://equatorresearchgroup.wordpress.com/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!NhORj8c-Grb4KGxOejnULeLBNGZurdVzTm8APWai68AmzbO-lY62jqpQxlPrNSk$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://equatorresearchgroup.wordpress.com/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!OtIpLxdJIdqxF5rI1Etjx0M8VHgsndCabC2raPDADhfg1hiPYf9JJAWYlSlmmGc$> . Related to this is the start of the Equator Mentoring Network, through which mentees will gain confidence, receive support, and learn how to navigate the world of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences research. We are currently seeking mentees who may be considering a research career in Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, and mentors with relevant lived experience and expertise in these areas.
