Abstract

In this interactive workshop we’ll discuss the current climate and challenges of equality, diversity and inclusion work in relation to organisational culture, research environment, publishing and more. We’ll walk through key areas of need and Dr Lilian Hunt will talk through toolkits (including Wellcome Trust’s anti-racist toolkit) and other actions that can be made at both the individual and organisational level to support inclusive cultures. For the workshops I’d like to include the EDIS safer space policy as it specifically touches on the topics of discussion (e.g. protected characteristics and in relation to research): https://edisgroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/EDIS-Safer-Space-Policy-2021.pdf
