People who are part of gender and sexual minority groups face increased risk of both harassment and assault in the fields of astronomy and planetary science. NonBinaryPeoplesDay
In a study led by nonbinary astrophysicist Kaitlin Rasmussen, researchers took a look at gender equity in astronomy and what practices could address outstanding issues that leave out or have a negative impact on researchers who do not fit into binary male or female gender identities.
With this new paper, the researchers aimed to take a closer look at gender disparity specific to nonbinary people with regard to aspects such as"who's getting postdoc positions, who's getting tenured," Rasmussen told Space.com. They hope that, by making changes including who works on these studies, the field can improve to better and more effectively support its nonbinary members.
The study also suggests that gender data should never be shared outside of the context for which it was collected, and that privacy remains a significant consideration with such data. The group also recommends that while institutional reform is"beyond the scope of this paper," they wrote, to actually achieve gender equality, institutions must adopt a"more complex model of gender than has historically been employed by equity initiatives.
