DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kelly Blumenthal (IAU-OAO)\nThe United Nations has s
 et a global benchmark for tertiary education enrollment by 2030. While the
  situation has improved over the years\, progress is slowing in many natio
 ns. The share of women (particularly those with intersectional identities)
  graduating from these programmes falls below this benchmark\, and those f
 rom non-Western countries (e.g.\, Africa and Latin America) also lag behin
 d.\n\nSTEM outcomes show a similar trend\, though effects from the so-call
 ed Leaky Pipeline lead to the exclusion of women and other historically un
 derrepresented groups. For example\, Indigenous\, Aboriginal\, and First N
 ations groups make up a vanishingly small percentage of the STEM workforce
 \, even accounting for their relative population size. These statistics in
 dicate there is a staggering lack of opportunities\, support\, and represe
 ntation for these groups in STEM fields.\n\nStudies show that focusing on 
 community\, culture\, and building trust stimulates STEM identity\, partic
 ularly among groups historically left out of STEM opportunities. In this t
 alk\, we will present a pathway toward improved engagement and uptake of S
 TEM in future generations by utilising an ecological model for science com
 munication based on mutuality and reciprocity.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.
