Dr Connor Richardson narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Welcome to this blog post about Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) leadership. EDI leadership is a crucial aspect of academic life, as it plays a significant role in shaping the culture, values, and practices of an organisation. It's all about creating a workplace environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. Connor recently took up the challenge and has got hands-on in EDI Leadership at Newcastle University and in this blog he talks about the how's and why's and what achievements have already been made - he hopes it might inspire you to do the same.
