In a keynote speech to Advance HE’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Conference 2023, Dr Shaid Mahmood, Pro-Vice Chancellor for EDI at Durham University, called on the sector to redouble its efforts with all left-behind communities – including those that are largely white.
Dr Mahmood said:
“Equality, diversity and inclusion, if it’s about anything, it’s about human rights and we should rightly celebrate the lives of many individuals that have contributed to where we are in this field in the UK today.
