People and Mining

Description

People and Mining is an inclusive space to help people learn, network and work together on their shared interests at the intersection between mining and people. At the core of the People and Mining are a set of shared values and aims that drives the network forwards.

The Network is a community that bridges disciplinary and professional boundaries. In order to do justice to the complex issues and puzzles that emerge at the intersection of people and mining, it is essential to draw on different ways of thinking and experiences. Broadening perspectives means encompassing a plethora of interests, recognising that diversity creates the opportunity for new ways of thinking and working.

The range of interests reflected in the People and Mining network were explored at the launch event and are illustrated below. This visualisation offers a glimpse into the breadth of interests and themes that members are hoping to explore further.
