When: Thursday, June 5, 2025, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
Where: , Mile End Campus

CRED turns 20: An event connecting DEI scholars and practitioners to explore shared challenges and opportunities in today’s context.

To mark its 20th anniversary, the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity (CRED) is hosting a timely event exploring how research and practice can work hand-in-hand to advance diversity, equality and inclusion. In today’s increasingly hostile climate for DEI, the conversations held will bring together academics and practitioners to discuss how collaboration can drive meaningful change - on the ground and in policy. From engaging with organisations in a shifting political landscape to rethinking research agendas based on lived experience, the event promises sharp insights and vital dialogue.

Expect an open, dynamic exchange on how scholarship can inform real-world change—and how lived experience and practice can push research in new directions.
