Welcome to Episode 3 of the Sciversity podcast! We recorded this episode quite a while ago (on October 11th) when a demonstration was staged due to an article that came out in early October when the rainbow crossing commissioned by Compass as a permanent symbol of diversity at TU/e was denied. We discuss this demonstration in detail during this episode, interviewing Dr. Eva Demerouti, a full professor of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences at TU/e, in the Human Performance Management group, as well as Lara Hofstra, the TU/e Student Diversity Officer, Niek Lange from the Groep-één board, and Chloe van den Heuvel from the Compass board and Stern Hutjes from Lighthouse.
