Diversity in entrepreneurship, science and education
Tuesday, 2nd May 2023, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Registration from 9:30 amThis event will introduce attendees to new methods used to measure and analyse diversity.
Societies are increasingly diverse due to increased migration flows and enhanced social and geographic mobility, bringing new challenges for policy-makers, educators and practitioners. Understanding the complex interactions between dimensions of ethnicity, country of origin, gender, age, and social class is needed to help to reach goals of inclusivity, equity and social justice.
Based on these insights, the event will provide an opportunity to discuss applications of new methods with industry and also the implications on University Diversity Policies.
