When you know better, do better: The evolution of gender equity in (science) academia with Tana Joseph (AstroComms)

From erasure and exclusion to intersectionality and justice, the fight to further gender equity in academia is not a new one. And as with all social justice work, it has undergone major changes over time. In this lecture I will discuss the ways in which the framework of gender equity in academia has evolved alongside our understandings of gender and indeed equity. I will also touch on what this work could look like in future. Lastly, I will leave the audience with a homework challenge to further the discussion!
