I have thought this to be so important for quite a while now, especially given the overall vibe of EA actually purposefully aiming to be exclusive (aiming purposefully at the most elite in a variety of ways). Thank you so much for your continued work on this subject Julia !!!!!!
I remember I showed this video talk of yours in 2020 to some fellows when I was helping run an EA fellowship, and one woman of color student in particular really appreciated your thoughts and tips. I don’t see your talk listed above but it’s really great as well (but perhaps you did more extensive writing that’s better linked than this particular video, idk).
Nice to think that some of your hard work on this has really paid off! With the recent numbers you present that EA is at least slightly more diverse overall, (with perhaps a sudden increase just in the last year that hopefully continues also).
I definitely don’t want to frame this as primarily my work — I think projects like Magnify have played more of a role. But thank you for the kind words!
I also think it’s really hard to tell what contributes to change or lack of change in demographics.
