Conferences need to be more diverse — but organizers must be cautious about how they achieve diversity.I recently turned down an invitation to participate in an important conference in my field. Such an invitation is normally an honour — and an opportunity for professional advancement that many early-career scientists don’t get. So, why did I decline?
Leading a diversity session is over and above our already busy jobs as scientists. It is also work that is most often given to people from under-represented groups, who have been oppressed by historical and systemic barriers for their entire careers, and who are now overburdened with trying to make things better for future generations. The irony is that, because of this, diversity sessions are really important, but those running them take on more work.
My message to conference organizers is simply that EDI initiatives require careful and thoughtful planning. There are several questions that you need to ask to create a safe, affirming and inclusive space for everyone.
'This conference is held in the United States, which I would not feel safe visiting. In just the past few years, the country has seen significant increases in instances of gun violence, racism, homophobia and transphobia.' Sweet.
