Honoured that the @ThinkTank_Lab‘s #diversity challenge is featured in this month’s Better Think Tanking newsletter 🤩! Thank you to the challenge participants and Sarah Bressan @bressansar.bsky.social and Theresa Lütkefend for your tireless work on pushing for inclusive workplace practices at #thinktanks.

So much grief and trauma on here following the horrific #TexasSchoolMassacre. People don’t know how to function normally, how to work. This is a time for organisations to step up and provide support for their employees’ #mentalhealth. Thread on how to do so 1/x

Join us tomorrow @ThinkTank_Lab online or in person! 🤗

If you, as a conference organizer, put a (younger) woman next to an (older) man for a discussion, you have to make sure that the moderator gives both of them equal speaking time and the same opportunities to answer.1/2

A lot of these are great. But some have "inequality" deeply embedded in them. Ideas for correction:

Got to present the @ThinkTank_Lab Diversity Challenge results with @santiagocuervoe at Stiftung Mercator Stifterverband RuhrFutur today. Here's the link to a great dossier on diversity & inclusion in think tanks Claire Luzia DGAP : dgap.org/en/research/pr…

And a guide for diversity officers by Andre Weisser Ayşe Yürekli Barbara Pongratz. If you want to join #teamDiversity - a community of practice to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in think tanks, write to Andre Weisser & see here: dgap.org/en/research/pr…

Worth reading on the role of grants from governments or philanthrophy by Anna Meier. Found similar evidence for the think tank sector in a recent study. cc: @PradnyaBivalkar @SVoutta @santiagocuervoe Better Think Tanking @ThinkTank_Lab annameier.substack.com/p/grant-culture
