Description
Many postsecondary physics educators have a sense that the current state of physics education needs to be changed to better serve all. However, knowing what and how to improve physics education is a daunting endeavor. Fortunately, there are many projects and programs that offer support, from materials to guidance/advice to vibrant communities, to make these changes. For the past several years, leadership from the Physics and Astronomy disciplinary societies have been working with AAAS to launch the SEA Change Project in our fields, specifically Physics and Astronomy departments. The aim is to support and recognize post-secondary institutions
and departments as they address structural changes to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion. The progress that has been achieved, and also next steps for the SEA Change project will be described in this talk.
