S2 Ep6 - Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education
In this episode we delve into the wide-reaching themes of diversity and inclusion. Any discourse surrounding these urgent topics can, of course, only hope to scratch the surface. But progress can only be made by starting somewhere! Joining us on this episode are Liga Klavina and Sofie Lorijn. Liga was heavily involved in the Teaching Academy. As a teacher at the Psychology department, she continually pushes for more diversity in teaching bodies and teaching practices throughout the university. Sofie is a 4th year PhD-student at the Sociology department. She is a co-founder and the former chair of I-BSS(Inclusion at Behavioural and Social Sciences). She avidly promotes many inclusionary causes through her work at the university. Throughout this episode we share and learn from our thoughts and experiences in regard to diversity and inclusion.
