Abstract
Scientists and researchers represent a broad diversity of genders, races, and abilities, emphasising the importance of intersectionality in healthcare and STEMM. However, with diversity come systemic barriers that must be addressed to achieve equity and inclusion. Overcoming these challenges is essential to enrich scientific discovery and drive medical progress. This Special Feature of Immunology & Cell Biology on “Advancing Equity and Inclusion in Healthcare: an immunological call to action” highlights key barriers to the entry and retention of underrepresented minorities in healthcare and STEMM. We also examine the individual, institutional and systemic changes needed to ensure that intersectionality fuels innovation and that solutions are as dynamic and inclusive as the challenges they seek to address.
期刊介绍：
The Australasian Society for Immunology Incorporated (ASI) was created by the amalgamation in 1991 of the Australian Society for Immunology, formed in 1970, and the New Zealand Society for Immunology, formed in 1975. The aim of the Society is to encourage and support the discipline of immunology in the Australasian region. It is a broadly based Society, embracing clinical and experimental, cellular and molecular immunology in humans and animals. The Society provides a network for the exchange of information and for collaboration within Australia, New Zealand and overseas. ASI members have been prominent in advancing biological and medical research worldwide. We seek to encourage the study of immunology in Australia and New Zealand and are active in introducing young scientists to the discipline.
