28 EDI/Outreach talk

Diversity is a word that is often overused and misunderstood. It’s an assumed social good, but striving towards something without having an idea what it is, why it is good or knowing possible endpoints is often very dangerous. I would like you to join me on this journey to explore what diversity can and should mean; why it’s relevant to academic thinking; and what you can do to try and affect change in diversity in Higher Education and beyond.
