Diversity and Inclusion Hub

The Diversity and Inclusion Research Hub

The Diversity and Inclusion Research Hub is an interdisciplinary platform focusing on groundbreaking diversity and inclusion research. It unites researchers by focusing on bringing about sustainable, long-term sociocultural change to our societies.

The Hub aims to bring together researchers across the three campuses of the University, in Malaysia, China and the UK, who specialise in investigative research on issues of diversity and inclusion.

By working together and building upon our existing strengths, we aim to make Nottingham an internationally recognised, interdisciplinary centre of research excellence, taking full advantage of the innovation that results from colleagues working at the interface of different disciplines.

The Hub is currently led by Professor Louise Mullany, and it is governed by a steering committee of members from across all academic Faculties, along with members from supporting professional services.

Key connections

The D&I Hub is closely affiliated with the University’s Institute for Policy and Engagement. The Hub works in partnership with the Institute to identify key opportunities for D&I policy and practice, in order to create new research projects, work on research impact, and collaborating with governments and external stakeholders at international, national and local levels.

Groundbreaking research investigating contemporary issues of equality and diversity is being conducted at our University on all campuses across all Faculties.

Key research themes

The Hub operates around the following six key themes:

  •  Education
  • Law
  • Health and well-being, including gender-based violence
  • Finance
  • International development
  • Businesses and leadership, including entrepreneurship

 Within these research themes, research expertise is clustered around the following D&I issues, which often intersect: 

  • Race, ethnicity and cultural heritage
  • Gender
  • LGBT
  • Disability
  • Socio-economic deprivation
  • National and international policy development
