EDI is often associated with the practical management of processes within organisations. However, EDI is also a field of innovative research incorporating theoretical, epistemological, methodological and empirical issues. Many researchers across SSD work on EDI-relevant themes.
However, our divisional research strength in this area has not always been fully recognised, nor has our intellectual and analytical contribution to academic research and literature in this field been sufficiently highlighted. Researchers have little opportunity for inter-disciplinary interaction and exchange of ideas, which could potentially catalyse collaboration and mutual intellectual enrichment.
We seek here to showcase such research within and beyond the University, transcending the disciplines and departments within which such research takes place, and to develop a multidisciplinary network for those undertaking, or planning to undertake, research in this area.
