🔊 Abstract : Whilst all areas of academia and institutional research have faced challenges in moving the needle on gender inclusion and diversity, it is notable that the STEM sector and natural sciences more generally have been subject to particularly stubborn historical gender stereotypes. What do we mean when we think about gender, gender inclusion and diversity and what are the very real implications of inequities in the geosciences. What can we learn from an examination of progress in other sectors?
