Our interdisciplinary research themes seek to understand and challenge discrimination, both in higher education and wider society
moreOur doors are open to researchers across disciplines - whether you are looking to collaborate, to join us at Lincoln, or enrol on one of our postgraduate degrees
moreInterdisciplinary and engaged research that seeks to understand and challenge the influence of stereotypes and biases on behaviour and communication that leads to cultural barriers
moreSeeking to understand the social structures and cultures in society, institutions and organisations, that are barriers to equality, diversity and inclusion, and to identify evidence-based solutions to challenge these
moreInterdisciplinary research that seeks to develop new strategies for changing system-wide attitudes, culture and practices within HEI communities, and building inclusive research and teaching environments and communities across the sector
moreThe business-case for EDI is now well-established, but fundamentally our research is underpinned by a belief in a fair and equal society, where every individual matters, regardless of their gender, sex, race, (dis)ability, sexuality, religion, age, or other characteristic
moreBy considering the 'life course', we provide an overarching framework for understanding a range of inequalities across a number of spheres, including work, care, education, occupation, social mobility, gender and health, and how they emerge, evolve and accumulate over time
moreWe understand that people's lives are shaped by many factors in very diverse ways, and that categorisations, such as gender, race and class, are always inter-dependent, working together to influence each other
moreResearch that embeds equality, diversity and inclusion within other disciplines, as well as advancing new research about EDI, unconstrained by disciplinary boundaries
