Thanks so much to those of you who participated in our Women's Month Word Web! The web is attached in this e-mail, and can also be seen on Twitter! (Follow the BERG account if you're not doing so already!)
The point of an exercise like this is to keep 'Inclusion' at the forefront of our minds as we move about in the world of academia, as we shift towards embodying a more diverse
habitus. Being an ally for gender equality means being actively
ANTI-sexist-- especially where your actions may transect with other societal issues such as classism, racism, and prejudice towards lgbtq+ communities.
"Creating safe spaces" was one of my favourite phrases in the web, and it rings true.
As these final tides of March ebb away and we wave them goodbye, remember all that we have said here! Water left stagnant for too long turns deadly. BE the wave, BE the turning
tide, help that leaky pipeline FLOW!
