Grave systemic barriers exist in the academy for under-represented groups including women, gender-diverse and non-conforming people, Indigenous, racialized or BIPOC, disabled, and 2SLGBTTQIA*. We recognize that many individuals fit within several groups and this intersectionality can further marginalize them.
