ANTOINE DE GABRIELLI wants to involve men in diversity politics throught the association he founded, Mercredi c papa. Very involved himself, he is also a member of the Commission Egalité professionnelle hommes-femmes of the Medef*, of the Club XXIe siècle and of the Association Française des Managers de la Diversité (AFMD). With his association, he condemns the weight of stereotypes on women as well as the weight of social success and power representations men have to bear. He wants to speak directly to men in order to improve their personal and professional balance, especially with the Happy Men program. Here is an interview (in french) about his involvment in professional and personal life. You can also visit the Mercredi c papa website!

JONATHAN EISEN is a molecular biologist at the University of California (UC) Davis. He was one of the first scientists to refuse to participate to academic conferences, colloquium or talks where women are less represented than men in the speakers team. He strongly criticises the general apologies given by the organizers when he asks them why there is no gender balance, such as “Women are too shy”, or “Women just aren’t interested in this field”. According to him, organizers are sadly not always aware of their gender biases, while their role should be to improve female representation at their events. You can read an example of exchange between Jonathan Eisen and an organizer who invited him to a lectureship with a gender imbalance on his website The Tree of Life.
