But many awards schemes across Australia display low diversity compared to the broader STEM sector, with women and minority groups consistently under-represented. “The persistent exclusion of women and minority groups in research cultures has led to an image of successful scientists with which people from diverse backgrounds do not identify,” write the authors of the guide. Key recommendations include:
The paper arose out of a series of workshops at the EMCR Science Pathways conference and Science at the Shine Dome in 2018, and was a collaborative effort of the EMCR Forum Executive and the Australian Academy of Science. |
