The MIT Press has announced the creation of the MIT Press Fund for Diverse Voices. This fund will provide monetary support to acquire or develop book projects by and about women and other underrepresented groups in the STEM fields.
The first books published with support from the Fund for Diverse Voices will be a revised and an updated edition of Women in Mathematics by Lynn Osen, and Carbon Queen: The Remarkable Life of Nanoscience Pioneer Mildred Dresselhaus by Maia Weinstock.
The Fund for Diverse Voices is part of the Press’s ongoing commitment to improving diversity in academic and STEM publishing. The Diversity and Inclusion Working Group recently received an MIT Excellence Award for its efforts to create programming and raise awareness of workplace diversity issues and participated in the University Press Diversity Fellowship Program, a pipeline program designed to diversify academic publishing by offering apprenticeships in acquisitions departments.
