Diversity Policy of the Statistics Seminar

Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London 

Imperial College London, its Department of Mathematics, and its Statistics Section are committed to fostering a welcoming, open, and diverse research community. We recognize that there are groups which remain under-represented in the discipline, particularly among senior academics and other professionals. One of the ways we can try to address this is to take active steps to promote equality, diversity and inclusion among the Statistics Seminar speakers. This this end: 

1. We will seek a diverse set of speakers that reflects the diversity of the UK’s statistics community in terms of gender as well as ethnicity and race, for example.
2. We will aim to invite speakers from around the UK, and, insofar as possible, around the rest of Europe and the world (e.g. international visitors coming to the UK for conferences, workshops, or longer-term visits such as sabbaticals).
3. We will monitor our speaker list and make it public on a dedicated website and also announce all seminars as widely as possible (the organisers have a subscribable mailing list that is used in addition to posted announcement and the website).

When soliciting names of potential speakers the organisers emphasize our aim to present a slate of speakers that is diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity/race, and geography. We will also take advantage of resources such as R Ladies, the UK Women in Mathematics LinkedIn Group, the European Women in Mathematics Members List, and Wikipedia’s Women in Statistics Page.
