Woven diversity #106

Closed danielskatz closed 4 years ago

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

This PR tries to add diversity to a number of areas where it was not explicit

The figure of the team in chapter 8 will need to be updated to include the diversity officer

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

If merged, this might address (or start to) #100

@danielskatz the change in education looks good. The 25% figure is a good target. Would it be worth including the percentage of attendees from underrepresented groups from our Winter School as evidence of what we've done?

karthik commented 4 years ago

What is the rationale for 25%?

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

Trying to balance between achievable progress and something bigger. Feel free to suggest something else if you prefer.

What was that percentage? If it goes anywhere, I would add it to 2.5

JeffCarver commented 4 years ago

I went back through the applications and calculated this information for those that attended (or at least are on our spreadsheet of final participants). We had 16 female and 13 male. 3 LGBTQ+ (one lists gender as female), 1 Latino male. I'm not sure how we want to report this information. So, if someone has the appropriate words, please help.

karthik commented 4 years ago

Im not entirely sure we should use this. We had no targets to begin with so it is a little odd to report post hoc.

Since we only have 4-5 fellows/year, we can strive to make sure 50% are from underrepresented groups, with 25% as the lower bound if we don't get enough applicants. At least for fellows, I think this is easily achievable.

Can you change/add that to this branch?

Makes sense. Let's just leave it out then. I think the education text is fine.

Sure, is your branch up to date with master?

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

I believe so

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

other than the image you moved about 23 hours ago

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

@nniiicc - is this ok with you in terms of the change to the incubator section?

nniiicc commented 4 years ago

Yup - works for me

danielskatz commented 4 years ago

Thanks all - even though @sandragesing has not reviewed this, I am going to merge it with the idea that any individual changes can be rolled back. I am doing this so that this PR doesn't get out of date and we can progress in these sections beyond it. The main action that isn't done here that still should be is for @sandragesing to update the figure of the team in chapter 8 to include the diversity officer
