Description
We are all individuals made up of a unique combination of characteristics and experiences, some of which assist us in our physics careers while others make us feel we don’t belong. In this talk I will use my own journey to highlight issues of diversity and inclusion. How, as a woman physicist, I went from understanding how my personal experiences were actually part of a wider picture of gender inequality, and finding networks where I felt I belonged, to broader diversity issues then to intersectionality bringing us back to the uniqueness of the individual.
