System dynamics is a male-dominated field but has become more diverse in recent years. The System Dynamics Society aims to be inclusive, address sexism and racism, and promote diversity within the global community. This seminar will allow women in the System Dynamics field from different geographical backgrounds and at different career levels to reflect upon their experiences. What do they recognize in each other’s experiences? What advice would they give to students and colleagues? We aim for an open and constructive discussion with all participants!
