Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging in STEM
I have gathered a lot of documents, papers, surveys and talks on the topic, with specific emphasis on women in STEM, women in physics, queer people in STEM and queer people in physics. If you any or all of it, please send me an email ayael.birenbaum [at] gmail.com. My own talks and documents can be downloaded here.
Dr. Sarah Rugheimer compiled an excellent repository of peer-reviewed papers on the current status quo for women in STEM. At the bottom of the page, you can find links to various statistics, should you want to run the numbers yourself.
