The Australian Society for Parasitology (ASP) stands with #BlackLivesMatter and #AboriginalLivesMatter movements to end racism, injustice and inequality. The ASP operates on the basis of Inclusivity Principles (PRINCIPLES, BY-LAWS AND GUIDELINES FOR AWARDS, GRANTS, JOURNALS, COMMITTEES AND ARCHIVES OF THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY FOR PARASITOLOGY INC.), which means ASP recognises that we operate in a diverse local, national and global community. The Society is committed to sustaining a diverse, culturally inclusive membership and strives to achieve equality in all aspects of its governance, administration, awards and conference participation. Our goal is a socially inclusive membership and we support multiculturalism and anti-discrimination including non-discrimination on the basis of race. The Society recognises the importance of participation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in parasitology and welcomes all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues and indigenous researchers from all countries. ASP stands in support of equality, respect and justice.
