The CSMA has compiled this list of AAS members who have identified themselves as members of underrepresented ethnic minority groups and who are available to give talks on a variety of topics. The list is entirely voluntary; the CSMA lists only AAS members who wish to be listed. We encourage minority AAS members to add themselves to the list using the online form or by sending email to csma-info@vanderbilt.edu.

Note that the American Physical Society maintains a list of minority speakers in physics. Many of the minority speakers listed here are in the APS listing as well.
