Here we highlight some useful resources and systems that have already been made to help you implement some of our suggestions.
Diversifying the Maths Curriculum
A project at Queen Mary University of London led by Dr Claudia Garetto created a document containing 56 biographies of prominent mathematicians with an emphasis on mathematicians from minority groups. The booklet has a handy contents page which organises the biographies by topic for easy navigation. Make sure to consider this as a starting point for your research and analyse how much you should take as ‘fact’. After all, history is often written by the winners!
DBS: Disclosure and Barring Service
Some roles, such as those involving outreach activities in schools or with young people, may require a DBS check. Transgender applicants can contact the DBS Sensitive Team (0300 131 2784) before submitting an application to choose not to have any gender or name information disclosed on their DBS certificate or to their employer, that could reveal their previous gender identity.
PDF to HTML
Some helpful tools for LaTeX to HTML converting include pandoc, LatexML and BookML. Information on BookML installation and usage is at https://vlmantova.github.io/bookml/ and there is a how to video at https://talmo.uk/2025/accessible-mathematics.html
