What is Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality is about ensuring everybody has an equal opportunity,
and is not treated differently or discriminated against because of their
characteristics.
Diversity is about taking account of the differences between people and
groups of people, and placing a positive value on those differences.
Inclusion is to embrace all people irrespective of race, gender, disability,
medical or other need. It is about giving equal access and opportunities and
getting rid of discrimination and intolerance (removal of barriers). It affects all
aspects of public life.
What is EDI?
Source: Verna Myers
Diversity is being INVITED to the Party
Inclusion is being ASKED to dance
Equality is being on the Party Planning Committee
The Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 outlaws discrimination on grounds of the following
protected characteristics:
• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage and Civil Partnership
• Pregnancy and Maternity
• Race
• Religion or Belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation
Positive Action (not the same as Positive Discrimination) is allowed
(Equality act section 158-159, Public sector equality duty 149)
Surely Academia is a Meritocracy?
The Myth of meritocracy: who really gets what they deserve?

Why should we care?
Why diversity Matters? https://www.mckinsey.com/business-
functions/organization/our-insights/why-diversity-matters#
McKinsey examined proprietary data sets for 366 public companies across a range
of industries in Canada, Latin America, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Guardian article
• Only 140 academic staff at professorial level identified as Black (out of
21,000 professors)
• 25 Black women professors
• However, 7% of our Undergraduate populations are Black

Diversity-Innovation Paradox Paper
https://www.pnas.org/content/117/17/9284
• ∼1.2 million US doctoral recipients (1977-2015) and following their careers into faculty
positions
• Underrepresented groups produce higher rates of scientific novelty. However, their novel
contributions are devalued and discounted.
• Novel contributions by gender and racial minorities are taken up by other scholars at
lower rates.
A vicious cycle
Low success
rate in
winning
funding
Bias & barriers
in peer review
and panels
Poor University
support
Other systemic
factors
Lack of
money to
support
research
Time not
bought out
for research
Less
opportunity
to pursue
new ideas
Less high
impact
publications
Less
attractive
recent track
record
Allocation of
greater
administrativ
e load
Allocation of
greater
teaching load
Less time to
develop new
research
ideas
Reduced
opportunity to
develop exciting
research
proposals
Lack of access
to research
networks
Institutional
gate keeping
Lack of Role
Models &
senior Profs
Less highly
skilled PGRs
& PDRAs
Co-created with Prof. R. Oliver
What can I do?
• Raise awareness
• Don’t expect the minorities to take the burden
• Be an Active Bystander
• Anonymised PDRA/ Academic recruitment
• Role Models and mentoring
• Support network for underreprested minorities
• Watch out for discriminations in research including
microagressions
• Finally, “a diverse team will do the best science”
