LGBTQ+ STEM Day<\/h1>\n

The international day of LGBTQ+ people in STEM was held on the 18th November and celebrated around the world. Here at Exeter, we were involved in a range of activities including a PRISM Speakers Event, the GW4 Diversity in Physics Conference, and an interview with TEC girls.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PRISM Exeter Online Speakers Event<\/h2>\n

PRISM Exeter<\/a>, a regional network for LGBTQ+ identifying STEMM professionals and students and their allies, held the latest event in their \u201cPRISM Speakers\u201d series on November 17th to coincide with LGBTQ+ STEM Day. This series aims to celebrate and champion the contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals to STEMM fields and to provide a platform for discussions regarding wider STEMM diversity and inclusion work.<\/p>\n

At this event, Professor Robert Appleby spoke about the Tactile Collider<\/a> project and communicating science to visually impaired audiences, and Dr Natasha Stephen spoke about some of her experiences as a Bisexual scientist, her research, and her work with TIGERS<\/a> (The Inclusion Group for Equity in Research in STEM).<\/p>\n

The event was held online due to government restrictions and enjoyed a peak audience of 44 connections via Zoom with participants joining from Exeter (45%), the South West of England (20%), and elsewhere, including overseas (15%). Attendees very much enjoyed the event with one attendee telling us:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c\u2026we heard from two excellent speakers who are working to improve inclusivity in STEM through outreach activities and by taking action to level the playing field. It was also a safe and supportive space for the LGBTQ+ community and supporters to network. For my part, I came away with a better understanding of some of the barriers and challenges faced.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Recordings of the talks are available on PRISM Exeter\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

GW4 Diversity in Physics Conference<\/h2>\n

Physics departments from the GW4 network<\/a> joined together on the 18th<\/sup> November to mark LGBTQ+ STEM day with a 1-day online conference on Diversity in Physics. Led by Cardiff with help from Physics inclusivity groups from Bath, Bristol and Exeter, the programme<\/a> tackled a range of diversity issues relating to the Physics and Astronomy community and attracted nearly 100 attendees from across the UK.<\/p>\n

Opening with a keynote presentation by Professor Peter Coles on being a Gay physicist, the day proceeded to consider issues in academic culture, open-access science and colonialism in the teaching curriculum. In the last session on harassment and wellbeing, Beth Pitcher<\/a> (EDI advisor at Exeter) outlined the mechanisms we use at Exeter to support our staff and students who are experiencing dignity and respect<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n

Attendees at the event, including some members from our Physics Inclusion Working Group, found the presentations and ensuing discussion to be thought-provoking with one attendee saying:<\/p>\n

\n
“The conference explored toxic academic culture and was applicable to tackling all areas of equality including race, disability, gender, and lad culture, moving beyond Project Juno*.”<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
*Project Juno<\/a> is a\u202fscheme run by the\u00a0Institute of Physics (IoP) which\u202frecognises good practice in relation to gender equality\u202fin Physics Departments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TECgirls interview<\/h2>\n

Dr Claire Davies<\/a> (an astrophysicist and research fellow at Exeter and founder of PRISM Exeter) gave an inspiring interview with TECgirls<\/a>. TECgirls aims to encourage young girls to engage with technology, engineering, and creative activities in and around Cornwall.<\/p>\n

In her interview, Claire talked about her research in star and planetary formation and her inclusivity work that focusses on scientists who are female and who are LGBTQ+. You can read the full interview on the TECgirls website<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
