“…Departments can improve the experience for candidates by diversifying their departments and speaking respectfully about personal identities, even ones they may not be aware of. In particular, helping candidates with any visa needs they may have [ 25 ], and using candidates’ correct pronouns can help make an offer more appealing. Participants often felt tokenized during the hiring process.…”

Many geoscience departments are taking steps to recruit and retain faculty from underrepresented groups. Here we interview 19 geoscientists who identify as an underrepresented race or gender who recently declined a tenure-track faculty job offer. A range of key factors influenced their decisions to accept or decline a position including commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) including personal identities, DEI initiatives, and mentorship; (in)civility during job interviews; values revealed in negotiation; and compatibility with personal life including family and geography. Many of the participants experienced hiring processes inconsistent with existing recommendations to increase faculty diversity. Therefore, we leverage our results to provide actionable recommendations for improving the equity and effectiveness of faculty recruitment efforts. We find that departments may doubly benefit from improving their culture: in addition to benefiting current members of the department, it may also help with recruitment.

“…Marine science for ocean sustainability is an international undertaking that connects researchers from the Global North and South (Crowder, 2022). Yet, the academic system is still skewed against non-English speaking researchers and those from the Global South (Amano et al, 2023;Talavera-Soza, 2023). Innovations of the way science is organized and assessed are needed to achieve a more inclusive and equitable system that better embraces the full diversity of human knowledge.…”

The twenty-first century is seeing multiple and accelerating anthropogenic threats to the Ocean which jeopardize the planetary system and human well-being. Given the urgency of this planetary emergency, ensuring Ocean sustainability and an equitable and just future for humanity and the planet requires unprecedented acceleration and innovation in the theory and practice of marine governance. This Perspective provides an overview of recent trends and emerging issues facing the Ocean. It outlines a number of Grand Challenges, or important areas to advance for scholars and practitioners of marine governance, namely the bridging of sectors and scales, connecting people and the seas, consideration of inclusivity, equity and justice, and innovating knowledge generation and the interface of science, society and policy. This will allow to address questions of how to achieve just, equitable and sustainable use of and interaction with the Ocean in the twenty-first century.
