LGBTQ+ in Stem – Using data to foster inclusion – Part 2
The second of our two-part series focuses on the multifaceted research approaches being developed by researchers. A combination of ideas, each with unique attributes, is needed to gather meaningful evidence to inform policy and interventions in favour of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Our speakers discuss the challenges and the advantages of using qualitative and quantitative data to discover and untangle factors influencing the attrition and retention of LGBTQ+ scientists in the UK and the US.
This webinar, broadcast on July 18, is the final part of two webinars dedicated to this topic. The hour-long session is once again moderated by Kevin Coutinho, joined this time by two more winners of the RSC LGBT+ inclusion in Stem grant, who speak about their projects (see project titles below). The webinar also includes a panel discussion, followed by an opportunity for audience questions.
• Marco Reggiani – Creating change by telling the whole story: Making the case for qualitative research methods to strengthen LGBTQ+ retention in Stem in the US and the UK
• Abigail Powell - Barriers within barriers − minorities within minorities: the challenges for LGBT+ inclusion in the UK-US Stem landscape through an intersectional lens.
