The idea for this blog was conceived more than a year ago. I had recently \u201cretired\u201d from the Ph.D. + epsilon blog<\/a> and was looking for something else to write about. I realize that many people write about diversity and inclusion already \u2013 for example you can find great posts in my former blogging grounds, the AMS blog on teaching<\/a>, the AMS\u00a0mentoring blog<\/a>, and the blog on math blogs<\/a>. Beautiful writing from many others, like Francis Su<\/a>, has been getting a lot of deserved attention. But I wanted a place where we talk about these things exclusively (see what I did there?), and intentionally. I also wanted a diverse team of writers to help (a blog about diversity and inclusion should not be written by just one person with just one point of view!). You will see that we have different styles, different voices, different interests, and in some cases I\u2019m sure different opinions, but that is what I\u2019m most excited about \u2013 true diversity! We will also have guest writers every once in a while, writing on topics that are their area of expertise, and not ours.<\/p>\n
Finally, I want to point out that since the blog was conceived, the world has changed quite a bit. As group of editors that includes women, people of color, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community, we are particularly aware of the fact that having a place for our voices is not just a good thing \u2013 it is critical. We hope that everyone<\/em> gets something out of this conversation, and we welcome all of our readers to share their own voices by participating in the comments. We look forward to sharing our posts, and ourselves, with you.<\/p>\n
