It turns out I'm great at gender balance, improving on geographic and ethnic diversity but I'm absolutely terrible at citing early career researchers. I was kind of embarrassed to be honest because I hadn't realized I was only citing old people and a handful of young people I'd heard speak at conferences. So I've been making a real effort to improve this. It's horribly easy to only read stuff by people I know of already and it's really improving my thinking to go out of my way to find new and more diverse thinkers. Not to mention citing Chris or another grad student is going to make far more of a difference to them than giving another citation to Foucault or some well-established AoIR-scholar. I highly recommend paying attention to this.
