Unequal Stories (V1): Surfacing Stories of Gender Inequality in Design
(Common Ground Research Networks, 2025) Cook, Robyn; Westgate, Caitlin; Campbell, Angus Donald; Moseley, Ashton Margarete; Bediako, Kimberly
Unequal Stories is a cross-national research project between Falmouth University (United Kingdom) and the University of Johannesburg (South Africa), investigating gender equality, diversity, and representation in the design disciplines in Higher Education (HE) and industry. Employing research through and for design, the pilot project (Unequal Stories [v1]) utilizes an innovative UX (user experience) data collection, mapping, and visualization tool to surface phenomenological Stories (lived-experiences) of gender inequality in design. By centering designers’ voices, the project aims to contribute to the ongoing sociological mapping of the field through participatory and inclusive strategies. In this article, the authors briefly situate Unequal Stories against a backdrop of an ongoing “diversity crisis” in design; describe the aims, methodology, and limitations of the project; and present the initial findings of the research via a thematic analysis. The results indicate a significant prevalence of marginalizing issues within the design industry—including bullying, sexual harassment, and exclusion; a compounding impact of intersectional inequalities; discrepancies in inequality within HE compared to the workplace; and the impact of gendered expectations and confidence as some of the contributing factors that lead to women not entering the design workforce after graduation, or leaving the design industry entirely. The findings also indicate that, despite statistical evidence to the contrary, gender inequality in design is frequently dismissed as a “non-issue.” These results contribute to the expanding body of literature on gender diversity and representation in design, offering valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners.
Normal covers of 2-arc-transitive graphs of prime-power order
(Cellule MathDoc/Centre Mersenne, 2025-01-01) Conder, Marston; Potočnik, Primož
Abstract In a paper by Cai Heng Li in Bull. London Math. Soc. 33 (2001), it was suggested
that ‘non-basic’ 2-arc-transitive graphs of prime-power order that occur as normal covers of
smaller 2-arc-transitive graphs might be rare and difficult to construct. This note describes
some of the background to Li’s suggestion, and gives some examples of small valency, and then
goes on to show that in fact there are infinitely many examples of valency d, for every integer
d ⩾ 2. It is also noted that the hypercubes Qn for n ⩾ 4 even, together with a 2-arc-transitive
group G of index 2 in Aut(Qn), show that the claims of Corollary 1.2 in the above paper by Li
are not quite correct.

The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) sets ambitious goals but no clear pathway for how zero loss of important biodiversity areas and halting human-induced extinction of threatened species will be achieved. We assembled a multi-taxa tracking dataset (11 million geopositions from 15,845 tracked individuals across 121 species) to provide a global assessment of space use of highly mobile marine megafauna, showing that 63% of the area that they cover is used 80% of the time as important migratory corridors or residence areas. The GBF 30% threshold (Target 3) will be insufficient for marine megafauna's effective conservation, leaving important areas exposed to major anthropogenic threats. Coupling area protection with mitigation strategies (e.g., fishing regulation, wildlife-traffic separation) will be essential to reach international goals and conserve biodiversity.
Long-term studies of lobster abundance at a salmon aquaculture site, eastern Canada
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2019-07) Grant, Jon; Simone, Michelle; Daggett, Tara
Wild lobster (Homarus americanus) abundance was monitored before, during, and after salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture production in a bay on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, Canada, in an 8-year survey, 2008 to 2015. Diver transects and free-area spot-dives were used to measure the carapace length and determine sex (including berried state) of each lobster encountered both inside (farm) and outside (reference) the lease boundaries. In pairwise comparisons of each sampling date, there was no significant difference between the number of lobsters inside the salmon farming area versus a nearby reference site and no significant difference in the number of berried females inside or out of the farm lease area. Combining data from all lobster surveys (farm and reference sites) indicated an increase over 8 years, similar in slope to the increase of the trap fishery in Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 38. These results indicate that the fish farm had no obvious impact on lobster density at any point in the salmon production cycle and that inshore lobster abundance followed trends similar to those of the general fishery of LFA 38.
When the second language attracts but the first does not: A large-scale study of number agreement attraction in Czech learners of English
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2025-05-01) Chromý, Jan; Lacina, Radim; Brand, James; Vanek, Norbert
We investigate agreement attraction effects in the L2 English of native speakers of Czech, a language that has little-to-no evidence of attraction effects. Our experiments involve two groups of participants. The first group (N = 415) participated in an L2 English-only experiment, and the second group (N = 183) participated in both L2 English and L1 Czech versions of the experiment (in a randomized order with a two-week interval). Standard attraction effects were observed in L2 English, contrasting with the absence of such effects in L1 Czech. Our results provide unique evidence that an L2 can significantly attract, even when the L1 does not. However, our results also revealed that the attraction effect in L2 English disappeared when the L1 Czech version was completed first. These findings are discussed in relation to the Unified Competition Model and the effects of L2-induced increases in working memory demands.
