The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Research Centre

Our research focuses on four main areas:

• dismantling systemic inequities through and within research
• employing inclusive research methods and methodologies
• decolonising research
• advancing pedagogical research and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Our vision

Our vision is to become a key contributor to the centering of EDI in the research culture at the University of York. We will advance the embedding of EDI principles such as inclusivity, decolonisation and equity within all aspects of the research process - from research environments to the research projects themselves. 

Dismantling systemic inequities through and within research: Maximising your research impact through policy

• 2 April 2025 from 12 noon - 1.30pm (via Zoom)

We will be hosting a research seminar for "Dismantling systemic inequities through and within research: Maximising your research impact through policy". This is part of a series of events focusing on the four core areas of research in the EDI Research Centre.

We encourage and support research which tackles systemic inequities and celebrates accomplishments made in relation to unequal access to services, inequities in lived experiences of marginalised communities and social groups, and policies and regulations which negatively impact certain groups.

The theme for this event focuses on how to consider policy in your research process (from idea development, selecting research partners, to results), with invited speakers to share their own experiences on how they integrated policy into their own processes.

Guest speakers include:

• Professor Martin Jones, Professor of International Human Rights Law
• Professor Federica Angeli, Deputy Dean for Strategy and People and Chair in Public Management and Strategy
• Professor Nicholas Pleace, Director of Centre for Housing Policy, Associate Dean of School for Research and Impact (CDRC)

A follow-up workshop event continuing on the theme of Dismantling Systemic Inequities Through and Within Research will be held in May.

If you are interested in attending the research seminar, please sign up via Google forms by 7pm on 1 April 2025 to secure your place and receive the calendar invite with the Zoom link.
