EDI is often associated with the practical management of processes within organisations. However, EDI is also a field of innovative research incorporating theoretical, epistemological, methodological and empirical issues. Many researchers across SSD work on EDI-relevant themes.
We are striving to make sure that our divisional research strength in this area is fully recognised, highlighting our intellectual and analytical contribution to academic research and literature in this field. We aim to improve opportunities for researchers to have inter-disciplinary interaction and exchange of ideas, which could potentially catalyse collaboration and mutual intellectual enrichment.
We seek to showcase EDI research within and beyond the University, transcending the disciplines and departments within which such research takes place, and to develop a multidisciplinary network for those undertaking, or planning to undertake, research in this area.
