DEI-CMS Special Plenary

A fantastic collaboration between two prominent divisions DEI and CMS to run a special plenary titled ‘Taking a Stand? Research, Values and Leadership in Academia’. We find this to be a crucial debate in a context where some forms of scholarship and associated activities may be characterized as ‘political’. We will reflect on how to address grand challenges while balancing diverse interests, ethical obligations, and a concern for inclusion. We will also debate the nuances of voluntary leadership and its associated responsibilities in this context.
