The aim of the study is to contribute to a more nuanced and differentiated understanding of the concept of quality in career guidance in schools, and to see how the local understandings interrelate with theoretical assumptions. The study focuses on patterns of understanding of the phenomenon quality in career guidance in a Norwegian school context, as the following four actors describe it: Pupils at intermediate and secondary levels, Counsellors from both levels, Administrative leaders from the sampled schools and the School-owners (municipality-representatives). Methodologically, the study uses a grounded theory approach, and the results are based on analysis of focus group interviews with representatives from the different actor groups. The result indicate that the understandings of quality are centered around three interrelated thematic areas; the importance of the practitioners’ relational competence, a focus on the next career choice, and a variety of actors and activities involved in the provision of the service.

Geoscience is plagued with structural and systemic barriers that prevent people of historically excluded groups from fully participating in, contributing to, and accruing the benefits of geosciences. A change in the culture of our learning and working environments is required to dismantle barriers and promote belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our field. Inspired by a session organized at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting, the goal of this paper is to provide a consolidated summary of a few innovative and broadening participation initiatives that are being led by various stakeholders in academia (e.g., students, faculty, administrative leaders) at different institutional levels (e.g., universities, professional societies). The authors hope that the strategies outlined in this paper will inspire the coastal, ocean, and marine science community to take individual and collective actions that lead to a positive culture change.
