SETU’s Vice President of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Allison Kenneally and Susan Flynn (Head of Dept. of Arts) join Rob O'Connor to talk about the topic of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in research and university practice. They talk about the importance of EDI with respect to gaining a wider perspective on research works, as well as the role EDI plays in funding applications. They discuss their own careers to date and outline how an EDI lens frames their work. In her role as VP for EDI, Allison offers a unique perspective on these matters. Also, Susan discusses a book she recently edited “Equality in the City: Imaginaries of the Smart Future” which is a collection of academic essays that seeks to engender debate as to how future cities will operate from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The book is available as an open access publication via OAPEN. https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/59174
