A headshot of Hamideh standing in a green field. Her photo is in a green circle and next to her in speech marks is the following text:As a researcher and long-time advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion, I recognise that there is still much work to be done. However, progress is achieved through a commitment to change, which is why I’m dedicated to advancing these values. By working together, I hope to see an inclusive culture and well-being prioritised in everything we do.There is also a graphic of women in all different colours (blues, yellows, reds, etc.) with their arms in the air).
A headshot of Christina against a grey background. Her photo is in a green circle and next to her in speech marks is the following text: I’ve experienced my share of male-dominated meetings and conferences, which can feel intimidating as an early-career woman. But over time, I’ve seen encouraging change; there is far more diversity at events and within the research community. I’ve also been fortunate to have inspiring female role models, which I believe is incredibly important. Since joining the University of Bath, I’ve taken on several leadership roles, including within the ISCC, and I hope to play my part in encouraging and inspiring the next generation of women working in sustainability.There is also a graphic of women in all different colours (blues, yellows, reds, etc.) with their arms in the air).
