La Trobe University has appointed Dr Sallie Yea as the 2021 Tracey Banivanua Mar Fellow.
Named after a much-esteemed member of the Department of Archaeology and History who sadly passed away in 2017, the Tracey Banivanua Mar (TBM) Fellowships were established to ensure that staff who have demonstrated potential to be a future leader and who have major caring responsibilities are able to maintain their career momentum and be supported to fulfil their potential. The Fellowships aim to reduce the impact of career breaks or intense caregiving responsibilities on research productivity.
Now in their fourth year, the Fellowships are one of the principal actions in the University's SAGE Athena SWAN Action Plan to improve gender equality and diversity in higher education and research.
