Black, Indigenous, and Latinx womxn continue to be underrepresented in the physical sciences, and LUMA is here to change that. We aim to provide a safe space for these individuals while also growing a thriving network of allies who will support us in our mission. To serve our diverse community, we offer two types of memberships:
- LUMA-lites: Programming is tailored to Black, Indigenous, and Latinx identifying womxn who are post-baccalaureate students, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, and research scientists in the space sciences.
- LUMA-allies: Colleagues and students at any stage who want to engage with and support in building an inclusive community.
Different people have different needs - and our memberships are designed to provide tailored programming to reflect this diversity. Thank you for being part of our mission!
Please fill out the information below and give us up to two weeks to respond. Keeping LUMA a safe and secure space for our members is important to us. Your answers will help ensure that and will not be shared. If you have any questions, please email us at
