Impact

Since the original workshop and creation of the booklet, we have presented our work in various places. We provide some details of each of the talks alongside our presentation slides.

BCU Library Spotlight - 2026

What is the Library Spotlight?

Talk Details

Talk Title: "How To Train Your Allies: A collaborative guide to allyship in STEM."

We had a whole hour for this session, so we split the time to first talk about the workshop and then go into the booklet. We had some activities in the session, including replicating virtually the first activity from the original workshop (presenting a definition for allyship and asking participants to submit their thoughts on its accuracy). We also asked attendees how a workshop like this might work within their own team/department.

In the second half we went on to discuss the booklet, with a focus on Jamie’s chapter about contextualising maths during lectures. Rosie highlighted some of the other chapters in the booklet, and we shared a spreadsheet with participants for them to populate with suggested networks, events and grants that might be beneficial to certain members of staff. In the booklet, we mention how oftentimes specific networks main effective promotion is through word of mouth, which limits their reach. As a researcher in an underrepresented group, hearing about these things can come down to “who you know”. By creating this internal shared document, we hope that these beneficial schemes can reach more of the people that they are designed for.

TALMO - 2026

What is TALMO? 

"An online seminar on teaching and learning mathematics in all its forms." - TALMO homepage

Talk Details

Talk Title: "What Can You Do? – a practical guide for those wishing to improve gender diversity in mathematical research."

This talk focused on the booklet, with a particular focus on the booklet chapter “What can you do... As a lecturer?”. Jamie Mason discussed how history was embedded into the Representation Theory module at Durham, and how that then led into the suggestions into the booklet. Rosie Evans spoke about the more general details of how the booklet came about, and what’s included in some of the other chapters.
