成本如何影响公平参与天文学外联活动

How cost impacts equitable participation in astronomy outreach events

Melanie Archipley, Hannah S. Dalgleish

摘要:

国际天文学青年营(IAYC)是一个天文学教育推广活动,有50多年的历史,来自81个国家的1,700多名独特的参与者。国际天文学研讨会(IWA)是IAYC背后的非营利组织,成立于1979年,总部设在德国。IAYC在迅速全球化的世界中前所未有的长寿意味着与全球北方国家相比,金融不平等减少了营地对全球南方人民的影响。虽然每个营地所代表的国籍自开办以来稳步增加,但来自东欧和非洲的参与者比例下降,而来自西欧和北美的参与者比例增加。本说明探讨了营地成本,地点和领导如何影响参与者的国籍多样性,以及天文学推广活动必须如何考虑为获得资源有限的弱势参与者提供资金。

英文摘要:

The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is an astronomy education outreach event with more than 50 years of history and over 1,700 unique participants from 81 nationalities. The International Workshop for Astronomy e.V. (IWA) is the non-profit organization behind the IAYC, established in 1979 and based in Germany. The IAYC's unprecedented longevity in a rapidly globalizing world has meant that financial inequities decreases the reach of the camp to people from the Global South compared to Global North countries. Though nationalities represented per camp has increased steadily since its inception, the share of participants from eastern Europe and Africa has dropped, while those from western Europe and North America have increased. This note examines how camp cost, location, and leadership affects nationality diversity amongst participants, and how astronomy outreach events must reckon with funding for less privileged participants with limited access to resources.
