Scientific paper

The problem of under-represented groups in physics continues to be both monolithic and implacable. And to the individual teacher/faculty member the scope of the problem seems so pervasive and far-reaching that there seems to be little that any one person can do. Yet perhaps because of this, the individual instructor is the most sure path to effective and long-term change.
But what can an instructor do to make learning physics more open, more inclusive? How can we establish programs that can make a permanent and sustained change to the way physics is practiced?
In an attempt to answer these questions, the author has developed a workshop called “Reaching, Teaching and Keeping Under-represented Groups in Physics.” The paper will highlight the design of the workshop, the model for change upon which the workshop is built, and the lessons learned while leading this workshop.
