This episode is inspirational and aspirational as we continue exploring what we learned at the EARMA Conference 2023.
Right before the conference, EARMA elected Dipti Pandya, chair-elect of EARMA as the first woman of colour. So we had a chat with her and Rosie Madnick, the past president of NCURA, and the first black woman to chair that organisation, about the role of representation. Rosie gave Dipti some good advice, and we talked about how diversity and representation will play a role in projects like RM Roadmap and the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.
Then we have a conversation with Lorna Wilson, chair-elect of ARMA, and Sapna Marwaha, deputy-chair of ARMA, about their work on diversity within the organisation itself. They presented at the conference, right before our panel, and this was a good excuse to follow up on the episode (Season 3, episode 2) with the then-chair of ARMA, Jennifer Stergiou, who initiated this work.
As always, we finish by discussing what we learned from the conversations.
