JSPG and NSPN Launch 2021 International Science Policy Memo Competition and Special Issue Focused on Intersectional Science Policy

​WASHINGTON, DC (January 26, 2021) - The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the National Science Policy Network (NSPN) are pleased to co-host the 2021 International Science Policy Memo Competition focused on Intersectional Science Policy. The 2021 Policy Memo Competition and Special Topics Issue intends to raise awareness of intersectional science policy issues that directly affect marginalized scientists and communities. 
Read the Call for submissions >>
“Diverse voices, inclusive communities and equitable policies must be pillars of science and policy. We aim to emphasize and analyze the impacts of science and policy on historically marginalized populations, including Black, Indigenous, Latinx, women, LGBTQ+, disabled, uniquely-abled and other marginalized communities. We hope this issue will highlight ways to craft and implement policies that better serve these individuals and communities,'' said NSPN Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Co-Chairs, Annabelle Lolinco and William Gaieck, in a joint statement.
This issue is also supported by the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), 500 Women Scientists and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). JSPG and NSPN will partner with these organizations in a series of writing workshops to provide prospective authors with the skills needed to write effective policy memos.
REgister for the writing workshops >>
​Since its conception in 2018, the annual JSPG-NSPN policy memo competition has sought to provide a collective challenge that catalyzes the engagement of science policy organizations with local, state, federal and global policy issues. This year’s competition invites students, post-docs, policy fellows and early career professionals to submit memos addressing justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in all sectors of science, technology and innovation policy.

“Over our 10-year history, JSPG has published pieces that address diversity, equity and inclusion in policymaking, but movements like #ShutDownSTEM and COVID-19-related inequities have indicated the need to do more,” said Adriana Bankston, Chief Outreach Officer of JSPG. “Through this issue, we look forward to highlighting resources and opportunities that promote intersectionality in science policy.”
