Abstract

To truly design for people—addressing the full spectrum of human capacities and limitations—it is critical that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment for HF/E professionals and students of diverse backgrounds and experiences. It is essential that HFES, like any other organization, considers how its current structures fail to include people of historically excluded and/or minoritized identities. During this session, the leaders of HFES-sponsored affinity groups (AGs) and of the Council of Affinity Group (COAG) will share their perspectives on what “inclusion” means to them and provide practical insight into what it looks like in practice.
