Exploring Diversity in STEM - Gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation
Newton 2
ESTEC
How diversity initiatives need to work together to promote intersectional diversity and inclusiveness in STEM
Context:
Across the world, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics disciplines) related organisations, industries and academic institutions are striving to create a working environment free from any form of bias or discrimination. But there is no single path that leads there and in many respects it is still a “learning by doing” endeavor.
One of the challenges often faced is how to ensure that diversity initiatives can leverage each other, creating a positive momentum beneficial for all and promoting fairness across the board. In this context, focus will be particularly put on measures regarding gender, gender identity and expression of sexual orientation .
Structure:
The purpose of the workshop is to hear from professional/experts dealing with Diversity and Inclusiveness topics in STEM organisations about their experience in promoting and implementing related agendas in their organisations. A panel discussion will follow to allow for a thorough interaction with the audience.
The ultimate objective is to have a positive discussion leading to concrete advice and actions for ESA.
In light of recent debates at ESA, speakers will in particular be asked to elaborate, i.a., along the following lines:
- How can we pursue diversity and inclusiveness preserving fairness;
- How different diversity and inclusiveness initiativesand actions can benefit from one another;
- How to tackle the issue of measurable objectives in order to deal with issues that might look intangible at first sight.
