Hilary Term 2026 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Roundtable
Register for our upcoming EDI Roundtable event
27 January, 11am to 12.45pm (followed by lunch and refreshments)
Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre Auditorium, Worcester College
Across the higher education sector, responses to regulatory developments (such as the Office for Students’ guidance on freedom of speech) have highlighted the intersection between EDI and free speech. How should we understand EDI in this shifting landscape? What are some of the practical steps we can take to strike the right balance between promoting equality and securing free speech? And how can we lead on EDI in a polarised, and often outraged world?
Our Hilary Term Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Roundtable will feature panel discussions drawing upon a range of perspectives to address these questions.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Prof Karthik Ramanna (Professor of Business and Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government and author of The Age of Outrage)
- Dr Julius Grower (Associate Professor, Faculty of Law)
- Jim Dickinson (Associate Editor, WonkHE)
- Kathy Noren (Co-Head, Student Welfare and Support Services)
- Kulbir Shergill (Director of Social Inclusion, University of Warwick)
- Marilyn Verghis (Interim Head, Equality and Diversity Unit)
