This paper explores issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the Audio Engineering Society. It provides an overview of recent initiatives and publications on the participation of various groups in the audio industry and the Audio Engineering Society community. It also discusses the concept of justice in human research and its relevance to the recruitment of participants in audio studies. The paper analyzes the demographic data of participants in Journal of the Audio Engineering Society publications, using a corpus of 134 papers from 2022 to 2024. The results of the meta-analysis reveal that the age and gender distributions of the participants do not reflect the general population. The paper discusses the implications of these findings and concludes by calling for a discussion of best practices for increasing participant diversity in audio research.
