Understanding and Supporting DEI in Academia ASM Workshop

Inclusion and Belonging

We want all our postgraduate researchers (PGRs) to thrive and to make our community welcoming and supportive for people from diverse backgrounds. We invite PGRs and supervisors interested in enhancing the culture of inclusion and belonging to attend this facilitated discussion. This will be the first in a series of workshops around this topic for PGRs and supervisory staff, and our aims are to raise awareness and foster collective understanding, to establish a set of guiding principles to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in our postgraduate research community, and to design some key interventions to deliver continuous development of an inclusive culture. We want to give a voice to all our community in cultivating and embedding a diverse and inclusive culture and hope that you will join us to share your opinions, ideas, and experiences.
