Next up at @wileyinresearch #societyseminar20 - How #Societies Can Help Create More #Diverse, #Equitable And #Inclusive #Research Communities?
Dr Mark Richards @imperialcollege asks what is Inclusive Research? Are great minds across the spectrum of humanity being harnessed; Is our record of human endeavour an accurate reflection of the contributors; Does knowledge discovery carry equal weight wherever it is discovered?
Richards picks out examples of great minds in his field of physics from that might have been missed/ignored/or may have their work lost, such as Satyendra Nath Bose (bosons etc.); Jim Gates (superstring theory) and Jocelyn Burnell (pulsars) #Inclusive #Research #societyseminar20
Shawn Boynes of @AnatomyOrg recalls a past awards roster where all of the winners were white men, and contrasts this with the current AAA board; hard-baking DE&I into the strategic plan from 2017; forming a task force; and a D&I Action Plan #Inclusion #societies #societyseminar20
Modeling the way, @ShawnBoynes hands over to Loydie Jerome-Majewska @lamsciworld of @AnatomyOrg DE&I committee who details the ways the society supports the career goals of disadvantaged members, and underlines the importance of making sure they feel included and welcome
Reflecting on diversity of editorial boards, Lisa Benson @JEE_Editors says a journal is not just a collection of articles, it is the people behind all that, and she started in 2017 taking an inclusive approach to editing #societyseminar20
However, after a racist article got through to publication, a reader raised it to the team, and Lisa shares how @JEE_Editors started a painful, crucial journey to do & be better - changing policies, increasing diversity, building trust via open & honest dialog #societyseminar20
