Only the Speed of Light limits You? - Discrimination and its impact on the academic field of physics (1st talk - Gender & Physics)
Only the Speed of Light limits You? - Discrimination and its impact on the academic field of physics Everyone who is good enough in physics can work in the academic field, no matter what their identity is besides that, right? We do not have any issues with discrimination, or do we? Is our study and work environment really benefiting everyone equally? Or are people marginalized here as well – and if so, what is going on? And what can we do about it? The talk will be given by Prof. Tomas Brage. He has a very successful career in physics and is currently a physics professor at the Division of Mathematical Physics of the Department of Physics at Lund University. Besides all his publications in this field, he also does research concerning “Gender and Physics”. He will inform us about numbers, bias, and stereotypes regarding gender, and their influence on physics. After his talk, we can also ask questions and have a discussion about the topic.
