Open Science discussions typically revolve around data sharing, reproducibility, and transparency in the research process - but to be truly open, it is important to be mindful of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in this process. In this session, we will illuminate three broad topics of EDI in open science: how to be an inclusive supervisor/principal investigator; how to make science more open for underrepresented scholars; and how to ensure diverse voices are heard when English is a second language for a significant number of researchers.   

The session will end with an open discussion with the speakers.  

Open Research Week 2024 and this session will be opened by Dr. Komang Ralebitso Senior, Associate Dean (Diversity and Inclusion) for the Faculty of Science and Senior Lecturer Microbial Ecology, Liverpool John Moores University. 

Facilitators:  

Dr. Reshanne Reeder is Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Liverpool  whose research is focused on individual differences in mental imagery, including imagery "extremes", and how this contributes to (anomalous or divergent) perception.  She is also a citizen science advocate. 

Dr. Loukia Tzavella is a Fellow in the Institute of Population Health University of Liverpool. Her research involves designing and testing population level interventions that address health innovations in diet and nutrition.

Speakers:

Dr. Andrew Jones, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University: How to inspire open research as a principal supervisor/principal investigator Andrew Jones' teaching focuses primarily around research methods and statistics.  He is interested in supporting open data as much of his research focuses around the (re) analysis of datasets using meta-analysis and similar approaches. 

Dr. Madeleine Pownall, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Leeds, How to make science more open for underrepresented scholars

Dr. Tatsuya Amano, Deputy Director in Research at the Centre for Biodiversity and Conversation Science, the University of Queensland, How to ensure diverse voices are heard when English is a second language for a significant number of researchers
