Rethinking Diversity

What is diversity and how do we encourage more diversity within PhDs

We’re back for season 2! After a summer break Ebru, Seren and Meghan are back at it. In todays episode we focus on the aim of bending boundaries which is to encourage more diverse representation in PhDs. In the first episode of season 2

we are reflecting on how to encourage more people from diverse (academic) backgrounds to get into PhDs. We explore what diversity means to us and discuss why it is important to encourage more diversity within PhDs. We talk about some
of the practical steps taken that have allowed ourselves to transition into a PhD, our experiences and how we think potential students could be encouraged to apply.
