The state of police reform: Measuring progress in each state
In 2020, following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the hands of former police officer Derek Chauvin and three other now former officers, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. However, the legislation never received a vote in the U.S. Senate. Though Democrats and Republicans agreed on a large portion of the legislation, they hit a stalemate on qualified immunity.

Diagnostics | Free Full-Text | Profiling the Longitudinal Development of Babbling in Infants with Cerebral Palsy: Validation of the Infant Monitor of Vocal Production (IMP) Using the Stark Assessment of Early Vocal Development-Revised (SAEVD-R)
1. Introduction Reliable and valid assessment tools for early identification of cerebral palsy (CP) have enabled practitioners to identify CP in infants younger than 6 months of age with high specificity and sensitivity [1], expediating judicious referral to CP-specific interventions focused on optimising developmental outcomes [2,3]. In contrast, there is a notable absence of tools with established psychometric properties for the early identification of communication impairment.
In/visible: The intersectional experiences of women of color in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine in Australia
1 INTRODUCTION For several decades, significant scholarly attention has been directed toward improving gender equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM) fields (Schmidt et al., 2020).1 While researchers are now adopting an intersectional lens (see Banda, 2020; Castro & Collins, 2021; Mattheis et al., 2019; Metcalf et al., 2018; Wilkins-Yel et al., 2019), a key limitation of the bulk of the existing research has been its treatment of “women in STEMM” as a...
The casual staff who do 80% of undergrad teaching need more support — here's a way unis can help
Casual staff do an estimated 80% of undergraduate teaching in Australian universities. Research shows these staff are highly committed, going above and beyond their paid role to assist students. Yet, compared to full-time staff, casuals are often treated as second-class citizens. Casual staff have little institutional support. They lack job security. Read more: More than 70% of academics at some universities are casuals.
how to be a male ally
As women take to the streets and make their claims of abuse and harassment public, this could be a watershed moment for Australian society and gender equality. But it is not just women who need to use this moment. We need men on board as well. White men in particular, have been the focus of these calls because they occupy significant positions of power. Other people (especially other men) are more inclined to pay closer attention to demands for gender equality when they are delivered by men.
White continent, white blokes: why Antarctic research needs to shed its exclusionary past
The icy continent has historically been a place for men. First “discovered” in 1820, Antarctica would not be visited by a woman for well over a century. In 1935, Norwegian Caroline Mikkelsen, a whaler’s wife, became the first woman to do so, some 24 years after her compatriot Roald Amundsen had trekked all the way to the South Pole. It wasn’t until the 1950s that women were finally allowed to participate in Antarctic science. How had Antarctica come to be so dominated by men?
Secondary school textbooks teach our kids the myth that Aboriginal Australians were nomadic hunter-gatherers
In his book Dark Emu, Bruce Pascoe writes that settler Australians wilfully misunderstood, hid and destroyed evidence of Aboriginal Australians’ farming practices. My analysis of secondary school textbooks shows this behaviour isn’t restricted to the past — it is ongoing. In Australia, pre-invasion Aboriginal peoples tend to be portrayed as nomadic hunter-gatherers.
Why Don’t Women Run the World?
Martijn Schornagel, Flickr CC by Robyn Moore | February 21, 2020 | Winter 2020 Who runs the world? Girls? Not quite. Women constitute only 5% of Fortune 500 CEOs, 24% of Congress, and only 30% of University presidents. This has led to questions about inherent biological gender differences that lead more men into these roles. In Social Psychology Quarterly, Susan R.
Women Of Colour In Science Face A Subtly Hostile Work Environment
Image: Tonkid / Shutterstock It’s hard for women to succeed in science. Our research shows it’s even harder for women of colour. We interviewed women of colour working in scientific and technical organisations across Australia about their experiences. As well as direct discrimination, they face a barrage of brief, everyday racial slights and indignities that one described as “death by a thousand cuts”.

Are Neighborhoods Actually More Diverse Today?
This 1938 map of Black and White neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. may not be all that out of date amid persistent, nationwide residential segregation. National Archives. by Robyn Moore | August 4, 2019 | Summer 2019 Do diverse neighborhoods remain diverse, or are they simply transitioning? In recent years, researchers have used neighborhood diversity as a measure of progress toward racial harmony and away from the legacy of segregation.
A Call to Parents to Take Your Kids Out of School on March 15th for the School Strike 4 Climate!
Hey Planet Earth, your heroes have arrived. Just in the nick of time. They are strong, determined, courageous, caring, and a bit angry, justifiably. Did I mention they are kids? They’re being called the Climate Kids. Not only are these kids leading the pack in the fight against climate change, they are the pack! These informed youth are tired of waiting around for adults to facilitate the changes needed to address our climate crisis, so they’re taking things into their own hands.
'Walking into a headwind' - what it feels like for women building science careers
Women make up half of all science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) Ph.D. candidates and early career researchers in Australia – but only 20% of senior leaders. In other words, we have a problem not with women entering the STEMM pipeline, but rather what happens to them once they are there. So why do women leave? Our recent research suggests it's because working in STEMM puts women in an ideological dilemma that is exhausting to confront, and feels impossible to change.

Resolving the Tensions Between White People's Active Investment in Racial Inequality and White Ignorance: A Response to Marzia Milazzo
This article responds to Marzia Milazzo's article ‘On white ignorance, white shame, and other pitfalls in critical philosophy of race’ (2017), in which Milazzo argues that the concepts white shame, white guilt, white privilege, white habits, white invisibility and white ignorance are pitfalls in the process of decolonisation. Milazzo contends that the way these concepts are theorised in much critical philosophy of race minimises white people's active interest in reproducing the racial status quo.
What style of leadership do women in STEMM fields perform? Findings from an international survey
It is widely acknowledged that women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) fields are underrepresented in leadership globally. However, little is known about how leadership styles of women in STEMM relate to this underrepresentation. This article discusses findings from a survey examining how 61 women in STEMM define leadership and describe their own leadership styles.
History textbooks still imply that Australians are white
Who is portrayed as Australian? ‘Opening of the first parliament’ Tom Roberts c.1903. (Wikipedia) Despite improvements to their content over time, secondary school history textbooks still imply that Australians are white. Textbook depictions of Australianness are not only relevant to experiences of national belonging or exclusion. Research has shown that students who aren’t represented in textbooks perform worse academically.

How managers can limit future shock
IMAGINE a world without taxi drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers and even airline pilots. Some future thinkers say that within the next decade, robots will be doing all of these jobs as well as most jobs in construction, maintenance, accounting, banking and even some retail functions. Thomas Frey, senior futurist at the DaVinci Institute, says people should prepare for a future filled with robots, drones and increased automation.
