Designed for Life - in Conversation with Dr. Lynne Bianchi
Manage episode 354034210 series 2966902
In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Dr Lynne Bianchi. Lynne is Vice Dean for Social Responsibility, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility, Director of the Science & Engineering Education Research and Innovation Hub & Senior Lecturer at Manchester University.
A staunch advocate of STEM and vocational education, we track Lynne's journey from her school days, which did not pass without challenge, to her current role at Manchester University and how this came to her through a slightly unorthodox process. We also dig deep into the outreach work Lynne is leading across a range of sectors and how a deep passion for students to have full access to opportunity irrespective of gender, social and ethnic backgrounds drives her to this day.
I really enjoyed this rich and broad conversation, and I believe you will too. So sit back, put your earplugs in, pour the coffee and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Dr Lynne Bianchi.
Lynne wishes to thank all the organisations and supporters that have collaborated with her over the years and the teams that have committed time and energy to STEM projects over this time.
