EDI Update: June 2023
This update focuses on a range of resources and events in support of EDI in our teaching, research, scholarship, student experience and support.
LinkedIn Learning
Many thanks to David Grundy for sharing the summary of materials available through LinkedIn Learning. This rich repository of material can support teaching across a range of topics. David continues to lobby the University to gain access for all our students (at present only Business School students can log in directly to these resources), but in the meantime, the materials could also be used in class with all students.
Open access chapters and articles around EDI topics
Bristol University Press has compiled a list of open-access chapters and articles around EDI topics – these include social science texts as well as materials more specifically around business school topics.
University toolkit for EDI and research
I shared the ‘beta’ version of the new University toolkit for EDI and research at the Festival last week. It will go live in the coming weeks.

A Research Impact Workshop is being organised by our very own Dr Nosheen Khan and colleagues, on the topic of How can third-sector organisations enhance women’s career outcomes, 10.30am-3.30pm on 5 June in NUBS 2.10 and online.
Event: EDI Conversations

Event: Decolonising Research – A Debate
Oxford Brookes University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Research Network (EDIN), is hosting ‘Decolonising Research – A Debate’, which will take place on Wednesday, 14th June 2023, 17:00-18:30.
The debate explores decolonising research, unveiling perspectives, and challenging paradigms for a more inclusive future in higher education. This event looks at how the process and conceptualisation of ‘decolonising’ might be mobilised in academic research. The aim of the debate is to create a critical lens to the theory and experiences of decolonising research by exploring the importance, impacts, academic privileges and barriers.
Event: Marketplace Diversity: from Exclusion, Restriction and Mistreatment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Marketplace researchers may be interested in an event exploring Marketplace Diversity: from Exclusion, Restriction and Mistreatment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, 23rd June (10:30 AM – 5:00 PM) at the University of Leicester School of Business, with the support of the British Academy.
