Our Liaisons Programme is a network of trans and nonbinary scientists who serve as links between ISNBS and their regions or institutions. While every Liaison joins the programme with different priorities and goals, they all work to increase nonbinary participation and wellbeing in STEM. Some Liaisons are also starting local ISNBS chapters, connecting nonbinary scientists in their communities to resources, and doing advocacy work.
If you want to advertise regional or institutional opportunities, invite people to your events and programmes, or connect with other nonbinary scientists in your area, they are your contact points!
Regional liaisons connect nonbinary scientists between regional institutions and provide support based on the social and political context of the region. Local LGBTQIA+ community and support groups are welcome to reach out to our regional liaisons and exchange resources that could benefit any nonbinary person (not just scientists) in your town, city, state or country. Institutional liaisons also take up enquiries from potential students and employees of institutions.
You can reach out to our liaisons through our contact form here by mentioning their name in your message. We will put them in contact with you. If you are a member of the ISNBS Slack, you can also send a private message to whoever you want to contact. If you can’t find the institution or region you are looking for, you can send in a general request and we will try to search for an ISNBS member who could help you.
