inclusive-astronomy.org

The International Astronomical Union has been celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and one of its keystone projects was designed to promote and support diversity and inclusivity in the astronomy community.

The project director, Hannah Harris, joins Dean Regas and Anna Hehman to discuss the early results of the project.

Dean Regas is the Astronomer for the Cincinnati Observatory and a renowned educator, a national popularizer of astronomy and an expert in observational astronomy.
Anna Hehman is the Director of Development for the Cincinnati Observatory. Her official duties include ensuring the financial security of the Observatory and securing support for its outreach programs as well as exploring relationships with potential funders. Anna also has a Marketing background and manages the Observatory's social media, where she resists the urge to post adorable animal videos on the O's social media accounts with almost 100% success.
