Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee
The AustMS Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee was formed in 2018 and is responsible for:
- Drafting changes to AustMS policy to improve AustMS practice in support of underrepresented groups in mathematics, including women, indigenous people, and the LGBTQI+ community.
- Investigating initiatives the AustMS could take to support its members at their home institutions and encourage good practice in mathematics departments.
