Today many universities, institutes or research groups have measures for promoting demographic diversity and gender equality – and indeed, such measures may be a requirement for receiving funding. Yet, universities remain riddled with inequalities, may of which are unjust. This talk is premised on the idea that, in order to promote demographic diversity, we need to take social inequalities into account. The focus of this session is how to contribute to a workplace that is welcoming to everyone.
