In this talk, Dr. M. Satish Kumar discusses the importance of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) in academia, with a focus on the context of Queen's University Belfast (QUB). He highlights the underrepresentation of scientists from marginalised ethnicities in UK academia and the lack of diversity among science professors. Dr. Kumar emphasises the negative impact of this lack of diversity on the quality of education and research. He explores the systemic issues and biases that hinder progress for academics of colour, such as opaque factors in career progression and the affinity bias. The talk also touches on the concepts of equality, diversity, and inclusion, and their significance in creating equitable and inclusive spaces. Dr. Kumar discusses the need to challenge exclusionary practices and promote learning from diverse perspectives. The talk concludes with a focus on embedding EDI in the curriculum and reworking Eurocentric knowledge to incorporate marginalised voices and counter-narratives
