Abstract

Middlesex University, as an institution committed to improving EDI in all areas of teaching and research, commissioned this review of its practices and processes, which was carried out by a team of internal researchers (Dr Rima Saini and Dr Bianca Stumbitz), led by Nico Pizzolato, in collaboration with Advance HE (in particular Dr Panagiota Sotiropoulou). A wider steering group, including colleagues and PGRs from across the University who are particularly invested in EDI, was consulted twice and contributed to the design of the project.
