LukeBeing on the same stage as these experts was really humbling. The professional, academic and lived experience they share was just overwhelming.
One takeaway was an agreed focus on action: as one of my co-panellists said let’s stop measuring things we already know (thanks Avtar Matharu).
And sitting next to Paulette Williams was incredible - she’s one of the reasons I got into this space and yet I had never met her, let alone shared a stage with her. Her analysis of how far we have got and how far we have to go today was spot on.
If you work to advance equity in the academy you must read The Broken Pipeline (if you haven’t already), it’s still relevant (sadly) and wonderfully hard-hitting and concise.
