  3. #Publishing has been slow to #diversify its workforce, but a #generational shift seems to be underway. 64% identify as white. 77% of younger respondents identify as female, while 12% identify as male. 10% identify as nonbinary. Younger folks more skeptical of #DEI. tinyurl.com/58msdedu

  4. Wait.... is that a panel of only white men?

    Have you ever been attending a meeting, only to spot an #AllMalePanel or 'manel'? EGU's Hazel Gibson sure has, so today, on #InternationalWomensDay she shares her top 3 suggestions to help conveners and speakers to #diversify panels.

  7. Of modern #lizards, with bones in the head that allow extra flexibility in the jaws. The finding suggests that lizards began to #diversify in the #Triassic period alongside some of the earliest #dinosaurs - rather than the Middle #Jurassic period as previously thought. Researchers say the discovery has important implications for understanding the rate of #evolution.

  8. Academia friends: could you recommend any BA programs in English which have gone through a process of reinvention to diversify or 'decolonize' their course requirements and offerings? We are looking for models as we begin work on rethinking the Literature major and minors at Stevens.

    Global and diverse Mastodon Philosophy folk - If you were structuring a two year course for 16-18 year olds to introduce them to epistemology, ethics, mind, and god, who are the female philosophers and philosophers of colour you would want to see take centre stage to diversify and decolonise a stale, male, and incredibly pale, philosophy curriculum?

    The UK’s only A-level syllabus for Philosophy (AQA A-Level Philosophy) currently has some glaring omissions in terms of both representation of women (barely any) and representation of ethnicity (every named philosopher on the spec is white) on its reading list, caused by its generally problematic structure of focusing on ‘canon’ thinkers in the four topics it covers and no longer including political philosophy on the course. It needs changing, or at least supplementing by teachers outside of the curriculum, to give students a better taste of what’s out there than this limited and exclusionary vision of philosophy.

    So what should we include?

    Here’s links to the current spec contents if you want to know how it is being taught right now:

  11. Fun fact:
    In Iraqi culture, when you meet friends or family you start the conversation with ‘shaku maku’ which literally means: what is there, what isn’t there? 😂

    Share with me a traditional conversation starter from your culture.
