Diversity and Inclusion in Global Science
The seminar series on ‘Diversity and Inclusion in Global Science’ aims to foster debate on inequalities in science across the world. We hope to invite critical discussions on how research evaluation and communication include/exclude topics so far seen labelled as “regional” and/or published in “local" languages, diversity in the participation in science, and contributions to knowledge that are related to sustainable development. It will thus concern a broad range of issues related to epistemic justice and decolonizing knowledge.
