The TInnGO project is taking part in the Transportation Research Board (TRB) 100th Annual Meeting, organized online from Washington (USA), with the presentation of two papers addressing gender smart mobility, intersectionality and diversity, and a speech during the Committee on Women and Gender in Transportation, held on 11 January.
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is a program unit of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine of the United States, a non-profit organization that provides independent, objective, and interdisciplinary solutions. As part of their Annual Meeting, a series of Committee’s TRB (virtual) events are taking place throughout the month of January.
On 11 January, during the TRB Standing Committee on Women and Gender in Transportation (AME20), Miriam Pirra, a member of the TInnGO project and expert from the Politecnico di Torino (POLITO), in Italy, presented in 70 seconds and 7 key words her Paper ‘If You Can’t Write Diversity into Future Transport, Then What’s the Point? You Don’t Create New Worlds to Give Them All the Same Limits of the Old Ones’.
This paper, whose abstract can be read on the website of this annual meeting, was written in collaboration with three other TInnGO members: Andree Woodcock, an academic from Coventry University (United Kingdom) and Principal Investigator of this Horizon 2020 project; Katarzyna Gut, also from Coventry University, and Stefan Roseanu, Integral Consulting R&D-
This is one of the two papers presented by TInnGO partners that will be also part of the agenda of the poster session on “Women and Gender in Transportation”, scheduled for January 25. The second one is entitled “How Can Gender Smart Mobility Become A More Intersectional Form Of Mobility Justice”, and its authors are Katarzyna Gut and Felipe Moreira, from Coventry University, and Jacquie Bridgman and Liam Fassam, from University of Northampton.
