Getting serious about diversity in Australia’s security discourse

Summary

Mercedes Page, writing in the Strategist, notes the following:

• Security and foreign policy discourse in Australia has regressed regarding gender and diversity.
• Organizations, media, and individuals can improve gender and diversity representation in events, panels, publications, and social media.
• Valuing diversity and different perspectives is crucial.
• It's important to actively work to dismantle institutional and systemic barriers that hold women, people of colour, and other underrepresented groups back.
