Scientific discussions with colleagues, at conferences and seminars, and during supervisions and collaborations, are a crucial part of our research process. How can we ensure our academic discussions are fruitful, respectful, and a positive experience for everyone involved? What factors and power dynamics can impact our conversations? How can we make sure everyone’s voice is heard and respected? This panel discussion will probe these questions and encourage us all to reflect on how we approach our academic discussions.
