EAG Councillor & Co-Chair of the DEI Committee
As co-chair of the EAG Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, my goal is to help the society accelerate its efforts to improve the representation of diverse groups within the geochemical community. Like many geochemists, the EAG has played an important role in my scientific and personal development, particularly via the Goldschmidt conference. At Goldschmidt, all the great strengths of the geochemical community are on display: ground-breaking science, active social and professional networking, mentoring of the next generation. It’s also at Goldschmidt that some areas of improvement have been laid bare: a lack of diversity in presenters, for example, or in award winners. I am very conscious of my own privilege, which includes attending Goldschmidt on many occasions. I look forward to working with the talented team members on the EAG DEI committee to enable improved access to the discipline of geochemistry, worldwide.
