Call for papers on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and access (DEIJA) in molecular life sciences education.

Manuscripts accepted under this call will be included in a virtual special issue of I BAMBEd i that focuses on diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and access (DEIJA) in life sciences education. Therefore, to better understand where the International Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education community is in terms of DEIJA work, we would like to invite you to share a vision of how this work does - or does not - manifest in your communities across the globe. The mission of I Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education i (BAMBEd) is to "enhance [...] student learning in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and related sciences.1" And yet, our learning environments are far from equitable, with student outcomes that are highly segregated by resource allocation and opportunity.2,3 From global reckonings with gender inequality4-7 and racism8-13 to a pandemic that shined a spotlight on inequitable learning conditions,14,15 a 21st-first-century life sciences education requires reflection on whose needs are being met in our classrooms and whose contributions (and potential) are being unsupported and ignored.
