EDI stands for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. But what exactly does diversity look like in Higher Education?
In Episode 1, ‘Diversity around the Table’ our host Dr Billie Moffat-Knox invites Drs Carla Chivers and Trevor James to discuss what diversity means to them and why we should value it.
Episode 1 also features two fantastic guest speakers from Durham University.
In Part 1, Professor Richard Crisp talks to us about key points he has learnt having studied diversity for decades as a social psychologist and explains why diversity is central to everything we do in Higher Education.
In Part 2, Dr Anthony Marcinko describes take home messages he has learnt having delivered diversity training to large organizations such as NASA. Join him as we discuss a recent CIA advertisement, designed to increase female representation, but instead might unintentionally fall under the umbrella of cultural appropriation.
