====== EDI Journal Club (formerly GenderHEP Journal Club) ====== Physics is a heavily male-dominated field and also lacks diversity and inclusivity in other aspects such as ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability etc. The goal of the journal club is to understand the problem and raise awareness and discuss possible solutions. We meet on zoom once or twice per semester. **Organisers:** EDI Team ===== Meetings ===== ^ Meeting in SS 2025 ^ | Date: Friday, 4 July 2025, 14:00-15:00 (Zoom) | | Topic: Exploring the workplace for LGBT+ physical scientists | | Speaker: Benedikt Gurdon (RWTH Aachen) | | [[https://www.rsc.org/policy-and-campaigning/science-culture/the-workplace-for-lgbt-physical-scientists|Paper discussed]] | | ^ Second Meeting in WS 24/25 ^ | Date: Friday, 7 February 2025, 13:00-14:00 (Zoom) | | Topic: How well-intentioned white male physicists maintain ignorance of inequity and justify inaction | | Speaker: Manal Alsairafi (RWTH Aachen) | | [[https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03522|Paper discussed]] | | ^ First Meeting in WS 24/25 ^ | Date: Friday, 13 December 2024, 14:00-15:00 (Zoom) | | Topics: results of the EDI survey & DFG Initiative for Equal Opportunities and Diversity | | Speakers: Felix Kahlhoefer (KIT) & Monika Blanke (KIT) | ^ Meeting in SS 23 ^ | Date: Monday, 12 June, 2023, 13:00-14:00 (Zoom) | | Topics: Careers in particle physics in Germany & How to be a kind and happy researcher | | Speaker: Tilman Plehn (Heidelberg University) & Emma Geoffray (Heidelberg University) | | [[https://www.ketweb.de/sites/site_ketweb/content/e174574/e316601/e316603/Careers_in_Particle_Physics20230514.pdf?preview=preview/|Papers discussed]] | | [[https://p3h.particle.kit.edu/_media/equalopportunities/kindandhappypresentation.pdf|Transparences]] | ^ Meeting in SS 22 ^ | Date: Wednesday, 24 May, 2022, 16:30-18:00 (Zoom) | | Topic: Picture a Scientist | | Speakers: Online Viewing | | Picture a Scientist is a 2020 documentary highlighting gender inequality in science. The movie tells the stories of several prominent female researchers, and brings to light the barriers they encountered, including cases of discrimination and harassment. The movie features MIT's professor of biology Nancy Hopkins, the chemist Raychelle Burks and the geoscientist Jane Willenbring, among other scientists. The film took part in the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2020. A number of research institutions have held screenings of the movie as parts of efforts to increase awareness of gender issues within STEM. | | [[https://mindjazz-pictures.de/filme/picture-a-scientist/|Picture a Scientist]] | ^ Meeting in WS 21/22 ^ | Date: Wednesday, December 8th, 2021, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | | Topic: Sexual harassment in academia - discussion about the movie “Picture a Scientist” | | Speakers: Lukas Simon (RWTH Aachen University) & Hanno Jacobs (RWTH Aachen University) | | Guidelines Against Sexual Harassment and Discrimination: [[https://p3h.particle.kit.edu/_media/events/2019_08_sex_harassment_a5_web.pdf|RWTH Aachen University]], [[https://www.chg.kit.edu/downloads/Leitfaden%20gegen%20sexuelle%20Belästigung%20am%20KIT_final_CHG_engl_ohne%20Deckblatt.pdf|KIT]], [[https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/md/gsb/broschure_sexuellebelast_2019_online.pdf|Heidelberg University]], [[https://www.uni-siegen.de/start/news/amtliche_mitteilungen/jahrgang_2020/77_2020_richtlinie_fuer_einen_respektvollen_umgang.pdf|University of Siegen]] | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~rkeuq/WS21-22/lidx/1//|Papers discussed]] | ^ Second Meeting in SS 21 ^ | Date: Wednesday, June 2nd, 2021, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | | Speakers: Silvia Manconi (RWTH Aachen University) & Michele Lupattelli (RWTH Aachen University) | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~mnnxq/SS/lidx/1//|Papers discussed]] | ^ First Meeting in SS 21 ^ | Date: Wednesday, May 5th, 2021, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | | Speakers: Tobias Huber (University of Siegen) & Michal Czakon (RWTH Aachen University) | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~mnnxq/SS/lidx/1//|Papers discussed]] | ^ Second Meeting in WS 20/21 ^ | Date: Wednesday, January 13th, 2021, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | | Speakers: Margarete Mühlleitner (KIT) & Colomba Brancaccio (RWTH Aachen University) | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~kyylq/WS20-21/lidx/1//|Papers discussed]] | ^ First Meeting in WS 20/21 ^ | Date: Wednesday, December 9th, 2020, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | |Speakers: Jasmina Nasufi (RWTH Aachen University) & Monika Blanke (KIT) | |[[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~kyylq/WS20-21/lidx/1//|Papers discussed]] | ^ Second Meeting in SS 20 ^ | Date: Wednesday, July 1st, 2020, 13:00-14:00 (Zoom) | |Speakers: Susanne Westhoff (Heidelberg University) & Saniya Heeba (RWTH Aachen University) | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~kyxgi/SS20/lidx/1/|Papers discussed]] | ^ Kick-Off Meeting in SS 20 ^ | Date: Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020, 12:00-13:00 (Zoom) | | Speakers: Michael Krämer (RWTH Aachen University) & Kerstin Borras (RWTH Aachen University & DESY) | | [[https://www.physik.rwth-aachen.de/cms/Physik/Forschung/Forschungsverbuende/Graduiertenkollegs/Graduiertenkolleg/GenderHEP-Journal-Club/~kyxgi/SS20/lidx/1/|Papers discussed]] |
