Write for STEM + Culture Chronicle
Where diversity meets STEM
Send us your pitch!
At SACNAS, we are supporting success in STEM for under-served and under-represented communities. We build bridges of opportunity by connecting talented people to career and academic resources. Our community provides support, inspiration and a place of belonging with the goal of creating a more diverse STEM workforce.
We created STEM + Culture Chronicle to serve as our writing home celebrating the intersection of science, culture, and community. Our goal is to provide original content written by and about STEM students and professionals of color (and our allies) that speak to issues we care about. We are looking for stories that inform, inspire, and sustain us in our pursuit of STEM, leadership, and social change.
Write with us!
Our audience is interested in the intersection of STEM + diversity. Here are some topics we explore through that lens.
Topics
- Leadership
- Mentoring
- Inspirational Stories
- Research by scientists of color
- Academic development
- Professional development
- Current events & policy
- Culture & Community
Now that you’ve seen the topics, remember that most of the time these stories come back to personal narratives about what have you learned on your journey in STEM. Sharing our own stories, and those of others, can be both powerful and validating. Sometimes reading the story of someone’s personal journey can spark an insight for our own path.
