I am organizing this event, together with A/Prof. Ollie Jay, via the The University of Sydney Early-Mid Career Academic Network (SEMCAN). We hope to have an open and honest event to discuss several important issues regarding diversity in academia, led by Prof. Celine Boehm and Prof. Renae Ryan – so please leave some questions and comments if you have any, by clicking above.
When: Thursday, March 14, 2019: 4-5pm (followed by drinks on a rooftop patio)
Where: Lecture Theatre 2, School of Physics, University of Sydney
