Welcome to the IMA Diversity event sponsored by the Early Career Mathematicians (ECM) Committee. In this event, we will provide a safe environment for ECMs to discuss issues related to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) with diversity champions of major mathematical societies and find out what those societies are doing on EDI matters, in particular focused on ECMs. We will begin the event with a talk on “Recognising the partners from the shadows: a whistle tour of the historical examples of compliance with social norms of exclusivity” from our very own Diversity Champion Snezana Lawrence. This will be followed by “connecting with the community”: using spatial.chat or zoom breakout rooms, Eugenie Hunsicker (Royal Society of Statistics Diversity Champion) and Sara Lombardo (Chair of Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics for the LMS) are hosting discussions on Subjectivity of mathematical values and Running inclusive events: accessibility and safeguarding. As well as these discussions, other ECM committees from the major mathematics societies will be there to answer questions on what they do.
