“…In many academic or technological fields, typically competitive activities or areas—such as scientific publications or software development—are more valued than those focused on sharing and cooperation, like community building, teaching, or mentoring. The latter activities are equally, if not more, relevant and challenging, and are usually performed by women, racialized people, people with disabilities, and other minoritized groups [ 22 – 24 ]. When planning the program for the conference, consider giving visibility to the whole range of activities and practitioners that contribute to the field by proposing new thematic sessions, broadening the scope of talks, keynotes, and tutorials.…”

Conferences are spaces to meet and network within and across academic and technical fields, learn about new advances, and share our work. They can help define career paths and create long-lasting collaborations and opportunities. However, these opportunities are not equal for all. This article introduces 10 simple rules to host an inclusive conference based on the authors’ recent experience organizing the 2021 edition of the useR! statistical computing conference, which attracted a broad range of participants from academia, industry, government, and the nonprofit sector. Coming from different backgrounds, career stages, and even continents, we embraced the challenge of organizing a high-quality virtual conference in the context of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and making it a kind, inclusive, and accessible experience for as many people as possible. The rules result from our lessons learned before, during, and after the organization of the conference. They have been written mainly for potential organizers and selection committees of conferences and contain multiple practical tips to help a variety of events become more accessible and inclusive. We see this as a starting point for conversations and efforts towards building more inclusive conferences across the world. * Translated versions of the English abstract and the list of rules are available in 10 languages in S1 Text: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai.

“…While greater participation is vital, access is only part of the problem. Gender stereotypes about women’s STEM competencies create persistent challenges for those women who “make it” in STEM fields, including the devaluation of their work (Light et al, 2022). Indeed, researchers have found that a lack of STEM skills was the lowest‐ranked barrier by women in renewable energy industries for women’s engagement in green jobs (International Renewable Energy Agency [IRENA], 2019).…”

Development Policy Review

Motivation: As governments move in earnest toward a green economy, few countries are considering education policy that can facilitate the development of green skills for such transitions. Where policy discussions are happening, green skills are often conflated with science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) skills, with little attention to the breadth of green skills needed to achieve climate justice. Purpose: We present a green skills framework to help support policy stakeholders imagine a continuum of green skills for a just transition. Methods and approach: This article applies a critical feminist lens to understand how green skills have been conceptualized across the gender and adolescence, greening and sustainability, and education fields. It also integrates the perspectives of stakeholders from climate, education, and gender-focused multilateral, government, and non-governmental organizations working on green skills. Findings: The analysis finds that green skills coalesce around three distinct but overlapping paradigms. The first understands green skills through a technical lens as the specific capacities needed for green jobs. The second and third paradigms understand green skills through a sociological lens, seeking to tackle the behaviours and social structures driving the climate crisis. As such, they centre on cross-cutting generic capacities and transformative capacities, respectively. Taken together, the article offers a new definition of green skills for policy stakeholders. Policy implications: The three approaches to green skills outlined in this paper constitute the pillars of a new green learning agenda for climate action, climate empowerment, and climate justice. This green learning agenda fills a significant void in both climate policy and education policy, and could help governments address current capacity building needs while setting their populations up for the long-term social transformations required to achieve a just transition.

“…El test de Finkbeiner es una manera de reconocer preguntas estereotipadas en este tipo de piezas periodísticas; para que no pase el test el artículo tiene que decir: el hecho de que el sujeto sea una mujer; cuál es el trabajo de su marido; cómo se las arregla para cuidar a sus hijas e hijos; cómo maternaliza a sus subordinades; cómo le sorprendió la competitividad en su campo; cómo es un modelo a seguir para otras mujeres; cómo es la "primera mujer en ..." Vamos a detenernos a analizar la violencia simbólica de estas aseveraciones. El hecho de que el sujeto sea una mujer: Se nos pide de alguna forma seguir siendo una anomalía, ya que los campos con demasiadas mujeres se ven como blandos y no tan elitistas (Light, 2022). El trabajo de su marido:…”

En este articulo se abordan las dificultades de las mujeres jóvenes para verse haciendo física, así como las diferencias en la identidad profesional de hombres y mujeres en física, y las violencias simbólicas que nos atraviesan a las mujeres en este campo. Esto nos lleva a interrogarnos sobre la cultura profesional en la que nos desempeñamos, y sobre cómo nos afecta trabajar en un campo tan masculinizado donde, en consecuencia, es más difícil colaborar con otras mujeres. Partiendo de estos análisis valoramos en clave género los cambios que se están dando en los últimos años, en los que la física en España se está volviendo cada vez más neoliberal.
