The Researcher to Reader Conference is a collaborative gathering which aims to be the premier forum for discussion of the international scholarly communications ecosystem – bringing knowledge from the Researcher to the Reader.
Digital Science is presenting a workshop on Tuesday 21 February at 11:30 as well as a lightning talk from the CEO of Ripeta.
Workshop E: Challenges in Supporting Inclusiveness
Topic: How can we approach inclusiveness in a sustainable and scalable way, without creating additional burdens on people already facing challenges
Abstract: Asking marginalized individuals to work to support and lead diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) risks creating an unintended ‘diversity tax” burden. While socially-driven efforts often start as volunteer-led, this approach burdens marginalized staff and is not sustainable for the business. This workshop will explore how to approach DEIA sustainably and strategically within an organization. Participants will share their perspectives, analyse scenarios to identify opportunities for improved approaches, and come up with ways to contribute as allies, leaders, or affected individuals.
Facilitator: Dr. Suze Kundu – Director of Researcher and Community Engagement at Digital Science
Lightning Talk
Topic: Strengthening Scientific Integrity Through a Cross-stakeholder Approach
Speaker: Nicholas Bailey – Product Manager for Digital Science
