I'd like to get practically engaged in sessions - shared activities e.g. where delegates co-produce a piece of editorial content or respond to a provocation, or short independent tasks, such as zine making, badge-making etc.

Hello, I’m Lesley Raven, a Senior Academic at Manchester Met. As part of a Lead Innovation Scholar role, I am undertaking a two-year project called Conscious Practice.

The project explores the successes and challenges of the StellarHE Leadership Challenge, which supports racially diverse leaders in developing their leadership identities and influencing institutional change.

I will be interviewing Man Met StellarHE alumni, inviting them to share an artefact representing their leadership journey or Challenge project. These stories and artefacts will contribute to a developing archive that strengthens our understanding of inclusive leadership and professional practice.

The project will also extend the Racially Inclusive Practice in Assessment Guidance (RIPIAG) for staff use, supporting a structured analysis of how leadership learning, racialised experience and reflective practice shape approaches to assessment, equity and organisational culture.

I’ll share updates on LinkedIn as the work progresses.

I think the Society needs to acknowledge the importance of engaging with universities from elite through to post92.

Post 92 HEIs have a student & staff demographic that is considerably more ‘diverse’: in terms of race & soc class at least.

Many of these present as ‘teaching intensive’, research is more difficult to foreground and there is definitely less fin owl resource to devote to it.

The research v teaching intensive binary seems to be strengthening. This is an effect of the current funding squeeze. Increasing diversity within the group would necessitate addressing this structural issue in my view.

Jason Arday please - on his career and research. Mike Seal on students, class, disability.

I know a few researchers/practitioners working in Global South on innovative methodologies and decolonial pedagogies.

Maybe ask the members of the society, if there are andy structural barriers hindering them from participation?

I would Love to do more collaborative work. I work for a very small specialist university so some of the experiences and challenges are the same as larger unis, but some quite different

We need to take stock of EDI issues within and outside the Society. Use own database, use HESA data. Surface issues. Surface research. Identify gaps. Identify areas for action.

Team up with other networks occasionally. Often research networks find it difficult to generate interest in remote webinars for example. One way I have found thay can increase engagement and cross connections is to co host an event with a sister network. Happy to suggest some.

Sessions to support researchers in finding collaborators and help build on their EDI research ideas. Could be different research themes such as on neurodiversity, race, etc

I would love to find a way to get to know other people's areas of interest and plans so we can find partners for potential collaborations!
