Diversity & Inclusion Targets: Learning from the Creative Industries

Thursday, March 14, 2024
Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre, Glasgow, United Kingdom

What you need to know

More and more of us are working to improve diversity and inclusion: in our companies and classrooms, on our screens and stages, in our sports clubs and neighbourhoods. Diversity & inclusion (D&I) targets can help us in those efforts. The UK's film, TV, arts & culture have been using D&I targets for years. Join us to find out what works! 

Professor Doris Ruth Eikhof will give a brief introduction based on her new book Diversity & Inclusion: Are We Nearly There Yet?  

A panel of experts will then share their experience and learnings:

  • Kim Simpson, Head of EDI, Creative Scotland
  • Dr Yahya Barry, Regional Lead Scotland, Film + TV Charity
  • Ranjit Blythe, Managing Director Cadent Foundation and Executive EDI Sponsor, Cadent Gas
  • Prof. Chris Pearce, Vice-Principal Research & Knowledge Exchange, University of Glasgow

Lewis Hou from ScienceCeilidh will chair the conversation. 

We will provide refreshments and BSL interpretation. There is space at the back of the seating area for especially young(er) people to move around or bring toys/books.

Please email us with any access requirements (jeanette.berrie@glasgow.ac.uk).

The event is supported by the University of Glasgow's Chancellor’s Fund and the Strategic Research Fund.
