Our lab, like many others, has been part of conversations around inclusion and equity in recent years. Today we are taking the step of publishing most of our lab’s internal documents used for onboarding new members, preparing for safe field work, and handling conflicts should they arise. The documents have have changed significantly in recent years as my thinking and reading and experience have shifted, and especially as lab members have contributed to improving policies with equity in mind.

Documents are available on a new page at the lab website and include our:
Travel Risk Assessment Form
Emergency Contact Form
Field Worker Intake Form
Statement on Respect and Equity in the Field
Supervisor Guidance – Safety Incidents
Mentor/Mentee Contract
Lab Policies Acknowledgment Form
Development Plan Template
Performance Review Template

Feedback and suggestions are also very welcome – these are living resources that will continue to change as time goes on. All the documents are available under Creative Commons license in case they are useful for re-use by others.
