Series Men advocating change presents What world do we want? by Evert Slob

It is important that we become aware of the fact that we are all born and bred in a sexist world. It was not our choice and yet we cannot blame anyone. The question is: How did it get like this and can we change direction? Let’s try a smaller question first: Can we develop diversity and inclusion inside ourselves, foster and nourish it and find it valuable?

This one-hour interactive session explores with you the questions on what we need and can do ourselves to change our society to make it a better place for all of us than it is today. It starts with awareness of our internal values, the roles we play, the (not so) hidden yet systematic, abundant and diverse forms of violence against women and how to diversify ourselves to make the sexist inside us disappear (in the long run, hopefully).

About Evert Slob

Evert Slob received an M.Sc. (1989) in Mining and Petroleum Engineering, and a doctorate (1994) in Applied Sciences from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). In 1995, he joined the Department of Applied Earth Sciences, TU Delft, where he is a professor of geophysical electromagnetic methods and among other tasks.

During the past decades, he initiated several near surface and exploration related research projects on the development of processing, imaging and inversion of ground penetrating radar, controlled source electromagnetic and seismic data, with applications in humanitarian demining, hydrogeophysics, and hydrocarbon exploration. His current research interests are advanced processing, imaging and inversion techniques for electromagnetic diffusive and wave fields with applications in monitoring geothermal energy production, subsurface storage and production cycles of fuels and fluid waste repositories.

He was associate editor of Geophysics from 2009 to 2013 and editor in chief from 2013 to 2015. Within the Delft University of Technology, Evert was director of education for Civil Engineering and Geosciences from 2014 to 2018. He serves as chair of the Career Development Committee at Delft. Evert’s contributions go beyond his research. He has a mindset of service and has exemplified this mindset in many different ways.
