Success through Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (Nov 22 2022)
Mr Aiwanger held a 90 minute presentation on how to improve diversity and equity. He separated the topic into two parts: The first part focused on base knowledge towards the topic, where he explained terms like Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality of Opportunity. He also explained what this topic has to do with the field of Mathematics, what the positive effects of diversity and inclusivity are, what things have to be considered and what hurdles people have to overcome. The second part of the presentation showed important theories and concepts , like the unconscious bias and micro-aggressions, which help understand the complex interplay between structural framework conditions and individual actions. Finally, the participants learned methods and tools to conduct on their own to actively improve diversity and equality.
