Abstract

In this editorial, the Guest Editors overview the papers contained within the Special Issue and discuss synergies between the presented keynotes and individual papers from the 5th biennial Network Gender & STEM Conference, 29–30 July 2021 at the University of Sydney [online]. The Special Issue showcases significant individual contributions from the 5 keynote addresses, 6 empirical studies and 2 case studies. Collectively, it highlights the amplified impact of an assemblage of interdisciplinary perspectives on the diverse issues associated with addressing gender inequities in STEM.
