In this invited contribution, Dr Kulpa will share reflections on how EDI (equality, diversity, and inclusion) and decolonialisation work in the UK academic contexts, embedded in the processes of neoliberalization of higher education in the anglophone contexts.
The talk is part of the round table forum organized as part of the Precious project (https://preciousproject.eu), to collectively reflect on the strategies to embed greater inclusiveness of the LGBTQIA individuals. Together, participants will discuss grassroot and top-down practices transforming the academy. An important part will focus on the barriers (institutional, ideological, political) that hinder the shaping of inclusive attitudes and anti-discriminatory policies in academia.
