Description
In December 2015, during oral arguments in a US Supreme Court case on affirmative action policies in university admissions, Chief Justice John Roberts asked the controversial question "What unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?" This panel discussion will focus on what it means to be a member of a minority or under-represented group in physics, how diversity impacts physics in Canada, and what we can do to build an inclusive and equitable physics community that can enhance physics research and development in Canada.
