Pop-Up Inclusion Matters Seminar Series: STEM Equals

Through an intersectional lens, the project will examine working cultures within higher education and industry, including systemic inequalities faced by women and LGBT staff in STEM disciplines. In partnership with BAM Nuttall Ltd, the project will launch and evaluate strategic initiatives focused on improving equality and diversity in STEM.

The STEM Equals team will share initial findings from the first phase of data collection, which included interviews and focus groups with women and LGBT+ academic staff and PhD students in STEM. There were 82 participants (including

38 staff members and 44 PhD students).

The nearly 46 hours of interviews, transcribed into over 370,000 words, were thematically analysed using NVivo. For an overview of phase one, please see pages 5-7 of the First Year Report.
