Couldn’t attend all sessions of the 1st day at 12th RUB Workshop “Diversity in Motion” (time zones…), @roto-rub.bsky.social but I was really struck by Ann-Christin Fischer’s @acfischer.bsky.social talk: From Pain to Knowledge: Endometriosis Patients as Epistemic Agents #Endometriosis

Epistemic injustice - when missing knowledge hurts

Women in academia are constantly asked to take on more “invisible” work—advising, service, teaching. This isn't about working harder. It's about working differently and how institutions value that (care?) work. We need structural change, not just personal boundaries. #AcademicChores #GenderEquity
