So there’s a few Black STEM related hashtags in the Science Twitter community, more specifically the Black Science Twitter community. This brings us together as we share our obstacles and accomplishments.
None of this would be possible without #BlackandSTEM. This was created by @ThePurplePage, Dr. Stephanie Page.
She is the Queen of celebrating #BlackandSTEM! She even has a blog site that brings awareness to what we as Black scientists go through! This dialogue informs us (Black Scientists) that we are NOT alone.
Without #BlackandSTEM, you wouldn’t know who I am. Here’s an article by @DNLee5 highlighting the work done by Dr. Page! blogs.scientificamerican.com/urban-scientis…
This community is a constant reminder that we belong!

1/ Gender Bias in Student Evaluations of Teaching: ‘Punish[ing] Those Who Fail To Do Their Gender Right’

Our big #qualitative analysis (386,277 unique responses!) published in Higher Education

link.springer.com/article/10.100…
2/Our findings suggest that student evaluations of teaching seem to measure *conformity with gendered expectations* rather than teaching quality

A cause for concern given the integration of SET data into performance profiles, and management and organisation of teaching practice
3/Before I go on, in terms of the necessarily binary reporting, it is very important to say here that we recognise the ‘pluralities inherent in gender(s)’ that complicate simple binary approaches to gender (Weerawardhana, 2018, p.189), and we do discuss this in the paper

1/n Thread

I want to talk a little this afternoon about this win for trans athletes & athletes with sex variations

International Olympic Committee shifts toward human rights

Here from me and Drs Madeleine Pape and Ryan Storr:

theconversation.com/a-win-for-tran…
2/n
On important background, in March 2020 the IOC recognised harassment and abuse as a current human rights challenge, and in particular recognised that LGBTQI+ athletes are at “particular risk of harm and structural discrimination”
3/n
The IOC now recognise female eligibility regulation *as an organisational violence issue* and as systemic discrimination

[I'll do another tweet thread on this later, drawing on my own research on this]

It just occurred to me that I neglected to provide some injury prevention materials here!

It's not all doom and gloom, I can highly recommend the free (!) Perform+ program from Football Australia

footballaustralia.com.au/performance
Now of course, as I discuss in my original thread, we must consider how gendered environments impact on the effectiveness of such programs

That said, I'm so pleased to be able to say that our research has had an impact on this section of the materials

Good morning from #BJSMLive22 everyone

@BJSM_BMJ EiC @DreznerJon and conference Co-Chairs @FionaWilsonf and @osmanhahmed welcoming us in-person and online Conference stage as seen re...
I think will be a day of really important Sport and Exercise Medicine conversations, including on:

- PA promotion
- Low back pain
- Safeguarding
- COVID-19
- What should SEM look like in the 2020s?

#BJSMLive22

So proud that our relatively new @UniofBath research centre @CHi2PSBath is so well-regarded and represented at #BJSMLive22

We research injury and illness prevention in sport, and have a stellar team 🤩

1/n 🧵

I want to address a narrative that we see around women’s sport and inclusion (particularly from those who seek to exclude trans women & women with sex variations from women’s sport), and how this narrative is part of a bigger pattern that functions to keep women small
2/n
I have been hearing more frequently the narrative that women's sport apparently exists as a 'protected category' so that women can win (because, on this account, without it no woman will ever win again)
3/n
This is:

a) *not* the reason why women's sport exists as a category,

and b) it is *not* true that no woman will ever win again.

This narrative is profoundly paternalistic and keeps women small.
