Diversity. AI. And research proposals. A recipe for…? A conversation with Avi Staiman.
July 10, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBLike many others, we’ve been exploring the capabilities of AI tools. However, when we started considering their implications in terms of diversity and security, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. We're not afraid to admit that we see potential problems, and we're eager to discuss them. That’s why we invited Avi Staiman on the podcast. Avi is the founder and CEO of Academic Language Experts. Soon after the launch of ChatGPT and other AI tools, he started talking about how ...
Pride Month Special: Professor Sandy O’Sullivan on being an aboriginal, transgender/non-binary researcher.
June 25, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 50.5 MBBeing queer is many different things, and we try to remember that our experience as white cis-gendered gay men in the UK and Denmark is not representative. We have long talked about inviting Professor Sandy O’Sullivan on the podcast, and what better occasion than Pride Month? Sandy is a Wiradjuri (Aboriginal), transgender/non-binary person, and a Professor in the Department of Indigenous Studies at Macquarie University, Australia and heavily involved in the Centre for Global Indigenous Fut...
100% accessible for everybody, please! A conversation about disability and research with Kathrine Deane.
June 17, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBWhen discussing diversity, we talk a lot about gender, race, and LGBTQ+ issues. There is, of course, more to the issue – and according to Kathrine Deane, disability is the next frontier. Kathrine is an associate professor at East Anglia University. She has a disability herself, but that doesn’t stop her from being a force of nature – and an absolute delight to talk to. And she doesn’t compromise. She demands 100% accessibility for everybody. She also embodies that talking about diversity c...
The role of diversity and internationalisation in career development for researchers. A conversation with Pedro Resende from Chaperone
May 30, 2024 11:00 - 33 minutes - 24.6 MBNot all research institutions have a set of courses or clearly defined career pathways for their researchers. We expect researchers to be born with the necessary skills to project manage, plan their career and support research networks or miraculously achieve them when they get their PhD degree. Pedro Resende co-founded Chaperone, the first personalised online career development platform for scientists. We found that concept intriguing and wanted to chat with Pedro about his thoughts on ca...
How being Research Adjacent can influence diversity in research
May 12, 2024 07:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MBThis week, we are joined by Sarah McLusky, who is a consultant, trainer and facilitator who helps research organisations and individuals maximise their research and research careers. Sarah hosts the brilliant Research Adjacent podcast where she talks with those working in the research space how they support research to be the best it can be. In this episode, we delve into the crucial concept of being research adjacent. We explore its significance in fostering inclusion in research and resea...
When diversity meets politics - why everybody should pay attention to the Donelan case in the UK.
April 27, 2024 12:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MBOne of the challenges with working with diversity is how some of it has been politicised. In this episode, we explore the case of UK Secretary of Science Michelle Donelan. In the fall of 2023, after the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, she accused two researchers of sympathising with Hamas. The two researchers were on the UKRI Expert Advisory Group on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and the secretary insisted that the group be dissolved. In this episode, we explore the case - and discus...
Exploring future transnational cooperation for Europe’s universities: What does it mean for minorities?
January 16, 2024 04:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MBGlobal collaborations in research, teaching and student recruitment remain at the heart of the work of higher education institutions across Europe. The European Universities Association (EUA) recently released a report which explores possible futures of transnational cooperation for universities. Taking an exploratory foresight approach, the report provides the tools for universities to think through how they can prepare for future collaborations. Not surprisingly, some of the proposed outc...
Research management around the world - and why internationalisation and diversity are core skills
January 08, 2024 06:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MBResearch management has grown globally over recent years, with universities, funders, and policymakers recognising the profession's importance in ensuring effective research delivery, particularly as research becomes increasingly international in focus. A new book, The Emerald Handbook of Research Management and Administration Around the World, reflects this growth by taking a global approach to understanding the growth, differences, similarities and challenges in research management. For t...
Diversity in FP10: Surprising lessons from Polish LGBTQ+ history
December 03, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 48.1 MBAlong with much of the European research community, we're slowly warming up for what FP10 - the next European research framework programme - will look like. Our primary concern, not surprisingly, is what role diversity and internationalisation play. A main consideration, of course, is what is politically feasible, and without naming names - well, we are - some European countries have more conservative views on diversity than we do. So, we decided to look at history and invited historian ...
In defence of indicators for Research Culture
November 14, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MBUK politics are never boring - not even when it comes to research policy (which - let’s face it - can appear quite sedate for non-research-geeks). In this episode, we explore the recent spat after UKRI announced that in the next REF - Research Culture would count for 25% of an institution's score which was closely followed by a tender to develop indicators to help them measure culture. That didn’t go down well with a lot of universities, and on top of all that, UKRI dissolved their EDI comm...
Ethical Science Communication and Diversity with Eva Kagiri-Kalanzi from Scientia Scripta
October 31, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBEva Kagiri-Kalanzi from Scientia Scripta joins us this week to talk about Science Communication and public engagement, working across higher education research institutions and her experiences as a black woman in research management who migrated first to Finland and then the UK. Scientia Scripta is an ethical consultancy, we discuss what that means along with how to engage universities in gender analysis within research, supporting them to talk about these issues and the concept of diversi...
Impact and diversity - a conversation with Julie Bayley.
October 16, 2023 18:00 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MBSocietal impact is increasingly important, and as such, impact is a term that is now widely used across academia and research. Luckily, Julie Bayley, impact guru (and "Murder She Wrote" aficionado), has written a book about what research impact is, how you can achieve it and how we document it. We loved reading her book - "Creating Meaningful Impact" - but we, of course, had some questions about diversity and internationalisation. So we invited her on the podcast. We talked about how inter...
PRIDE in STEM - a conversation with Dr Alfredo Carpineti
September 25, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBIn this episode, we talk to Dr. Alfredo Carpineti, science reporter, founder and chair of PRIDE in STEM. We explored what PRIDE in STEM is - whether it's still important - and whether things are worse for LGTBQ+ people in STEM than in the rest of academia. That all led us to a conversation about the challenges of the politicisation of LGTBQ+ issues in many countries, internationalisation - and finally, how we can all help make academia more LGBTQ+ inclusive. Alfredo is good company - and ...
How can you include diversity and internationalisation in research proposals?
September 12, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes - 26.2 MBSeason seven is here! We kick off the new season by discussing how you can include diversity and internationalisation in research proposals. We know this isn't always familiar territory for people so we thought talking you through our approach might take away some of the fear! We developed a model during the pandemic that we use in our work to help researchers and research managers get started in tackling what can be a complex issue. We developed a structure and questions to build on so ...
Hey Gurl - Congrats on the new job Iliona Ivanova!
July 07, 2023 17:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MBWe begin this episode by welcoming the new EU Commissioner (expected at least) Iliona Ivanovo, by saying “Hey gurl”! as only two gay guys can do it. We finish season 6 with a look back at the first half of 2023 and looking at wins and fails from our point of view. We look at some of the workshops we have run, research policy and other things going on in diversity and internationalisation in research and research management. And then we look at what’s to come in the rest of the year - for u...
The importance of representation - on being the first woman of colour chairing EARMA - and how ARMA has worked with diversity
May 29, 2023 10:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBThis episode is inspirational and aspirational as we continue exploring what we learned at the EARMA Conference 2023. Right before the conference, EARMA elected Dipti Pandya, chair-elect of EARMA as the first woman of colour. So we had a chat with her and Rosie Madnick, the past president of NCURA, and the first black woman to chair that organisation, about the role of representation. Rosie gave Dipti some good advice, and we talked about how diversity and representation will play a role in...
EARMA Annual Conference 2023: Lessons on diversity, internationalisation and professional development
May 16, 2023 04:00 - 34 minutes - 23.6 MBWe had the pleasure of participating in the EARMA Annual Conference in Prague. We hosted our own panel, Jakob was part of a discussion table - and we listened to presentations, looked at the posters and had lots of discussions and fun. In this episode, we follow up on the conference by reflecting on the role of diversity and internationalisation at the conference generally and in specific sessions. We also have a chat about the two issues that cut through the conference: The RM Roadmap pr...
Diversity and discrimination in research organisations. A conversation with Clemens Striebing
April 18, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 44.1 MBIn this episode we talk to Clemens Striebing about the book that he co-edited called "Diversity and Discrimination in Research Organizations" (link below). We talked about the difference between discimination and diversity, and why that matters, because often we actually talk about anti-discrimination initiatives when we talk about diversity, and that is making the discussion unclear. We also talk about leadership and management, and how New Public Management has impacted how research or...
FundFit - Can software solutions for identifying research funding help us address diversity in international research?
March 27, 2023 09:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBWe don't want to admit it, but it's been a few years since we were research advisors. Not that we're old - not at all, but it's been a while since we worked with funding databases to identify research funding for researchers. So imagine us getting an introduction to Streamlyne's software FundFit. We found it really interesting and wanted a chat about what it can and can't do, and the potential in FundFit and other software solutions. Luckily, Streamlyne's CEO Randy Özden was happy to join ...
In 2050 Nigeria will have the world’s 3rd largest population. What do you know about their research policy?
March 14, 2023 11:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MBIt’s absolutely bonkers we don’t talk more about Nigerian research policy! Have you ever said that to yourself or your colleagues? No! Well, you should. Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and the country with the largest population on the continent as well. And in 2050 it will have the 3rd largest population in the world. So an important country that will only grow in importance. We were slightly embarrassed that we knew next to nothing about the country’s research policy and used the...
How do research grant writers think about diversity? A conversation with Niels Tudor-Vinther from The Grant.
February 28, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBAdmittedly we sometimes live in a bubble where all things diversity and internationalisation are incredibly interesting and incredibly important. And they are. But how about the research managers and administrators who support researchers in writing grant proposals? We needed a snap back to reality, and who better to help us with that than Niels Tudor-Vinther. Niels was work with European research funding in different ways for a number of years, several of them as a proposal writer. Now he...
Science communication, social media and attention - the dilemmas of minorities. A conversation with Julius Wesche
February 14, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 50 MBWe're back with the first episode of season six (can you believe it!). We kick off with a conversation with Julius Wesche about science communication and particularly social media. For science communication to work you need attention - but not all researchers with a minority background like the attention as it can draw focus on their personal characteristics etc. and steer the communication in a negative direction. How do we balance that? That was the core issue of our conversation that too...
Queer Data: The challenge to research, researchers and open science. A conversation with Kevin Guyan
November 08, 2022 16:00 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MBWhen we learned earlier this year about Kevin Guyan's book "Queer Data: Using Gender, Sex and Sexuality Data for Action" we knew we had to have him on the podcast. We talk about what queer data is and what the queering of data is. The latter probably being less familiar to the listeners. And we talk about the pros and cons of queer data. Why it can actually be problematic for the queer community to have more data collected about them. We talk queer competencies and the central question: W...
Analyzing DG Research's new report on inclusive gender equality - and the next steps universities can take
October 18, 2022 15:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MBIn this episode, we take the opportunity to examine the recent European Commission report "Approaches to inclusive gender equality in research and innovation". In a change of approach, instead of inviting the authors to talk to us, we did our own analysis of the report and chatted about what universities can do after reading the report. We liked the direction of travel outlined in the report and explored why this remains such an important area in higher education research. Because one th...
Reforming research assessment - what is the role of diversity? A conversation with Stephane Berghmans
October 04, 2022 04:00 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBIn the episode, we talk to Stephane Berghmans, Director of Research and Innovation at the European University Association. Stephane was in the room as the "Agreement on Reform of Research Assessment" was written, and we expect him to play a key role in the implementation as well. We talked about how the agreement came about, why it is important - and of course, what happened to diversity in the principles. We didn't agree with Stephane on all things, but big principles are at stake here...
Science diplomacy in a time of war - a conversation with Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen
September 15, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBScience diplomacy is a great concept, and one of the things that inspired us to move into this work. Actually Jakob thought about writing a PhD on the topic for a while. But one thing is talking about the concept - another to put it into action in a time of war as we see now with the war in Ukraine. So we invited professor Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen from the Arctic University in Norway (UiT) for a chat about why the science community cut all ties to Russia if we are so focused on the possi...
Internationalisation as a Global South research funder - a conversation with Community Jameel
September 06, 2022 08:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBIn this episode, we talk to Uzma Sulaiman, associate director of Community Jameel, an independent, global organisation. The opportunity to chat with Community Jameel grabbed our attention as we rarely get to talk to a research funder from the Global South, specifically one targeting societal challenges in the Global South with Global South academic leads. We had a great conversation about their work and the importance of the Global South being a key player on the funding side of internati...
Roe vs Wade - Katie Pryal on why abortion is a Higher-Ed Issue.
August 18, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBThere is no doubt that there are many immediate consequences for women in the US when it comes to the overturn of Roe vs Wade. It almost doesn't bare thinking. But we all should, and Katie Rose Guest Pryal caught our attention with an article in The Chronicle called: "Abortion is a Higher-Ed Issue " (link below). Katie is an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina School of Law, an author and a public speaker. One of the topics she speaks and writes about is mental hea...
The overturn of Roe vs Wade: Who's next? Phillip Ayoub on the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and whether we should be concerned.
July 29, 2022 11:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MBWe saw the leak, but still. It couldn't happen. But it did. In June the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, the verdict that in 1973 ensured women's right to abortion on a federal level in the US. In a controversial concurring opinion Justice Thomas basically promised to overturn the right to gay marriage, gay sex and contraception as well if the right cases were presented. So we decided to invite Phillip Ayoub on the podcast to learn more about the consequences for the staff with a ...
First Voices - promoting North American indigenous voices in academia
July 26, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 44 MBIn this episode, we talk to Erika Valenti from Emerald Publishing and Ashley Richard from the University of Manitoba about the Emerald-led initiatives "First voices First" and "The Power of Diverse Voices". They focus on giving voice to indigenous people on their own terms and expanding the notion of what we consider research, with a focus on North America. Ashley also tells us about her work for her community and female entrepreneurship, and you really get a sense of how important this wor...
Open science, international research collaborations and science diplomacy – challenges and possibilities for EU and European universities
January 19, 2022 16:00 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBIn this chat we talk to Daniel Spichtinger from Austria on the topic of open science, why the EU Commission felt a need to develop a strategy for international research collaboration, what happened to "open to the world, how to understand " and what is "open strategic autonomy". We discuss the role of science diplomacy in an increasingly complex international world, and of course how minorities should navigate all this when talking about "values". ...
Social Media in Academic Life - Curse or blessing?
December 16, 2021 16:00 - 54 minutes - 37.8 MBOn the one side, social media is increasingly considered a part of societal and research impact in academia and it is a chance for us all to get in contact with like-minded people we would otherwise never interact with. On the other side, we know that minority groups are increasingly targets of harassment and attacks on social media and that there are risks to using social media metrics as a measure of success and impact. To explore these issues we had a fascinating chat with Mark Carriga...
The Race Equality Charter - learning from doing: the experience at Northumbria University
November 23, 2021 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.6 MBNorthumbria University is currently working through the process to achieve the Race Equality Charter (https://www.advance-he.ac.uk/equality-charters/race-equality-charter). We talk to Professor Tom Lawson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and historian about the approach Northumbria is taking, why achieving the charter is important to them and how it fits into the bigger diversity and inclusion picture. We have a really interesting conversation about listening and why that is key to making changes an...
Global Research Council - how public research funders work with equality and diversity in global research
November 11, 2021 08:00 - 52 minutes - 36.1 MBOh, to be in the mind of a research funder! How do they think? How do they work? What is that secret to get that grant? The secret of course is that there is no secret, but in this episode we can share with you a little about what global public research funders think about equality, diversity and inclusion in research. We talk to Roshni Abedin (UK) and Ana Maria Fonseca de Almeida (Brazil). They are both part of the Gender Working Group under Global Research Council. Global Research Counc...
How research collaboration in Africa is changing - a conversation with Joy Owango
October 25, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 41.5 MBThe lyrics from a famous Danish aid song from the 1980s at some point says "Africa, the country that every child knows". And unfortunately, that still sums it up today. Even though we know it is a continent and not a country, we too often think about it as one - to the extent, we think that much about Africa in the context of research at all (South Africa being the exception). So we decided we needed to learn more; more about collaborations, funding, culture and so many other things abou...
Ableism in academia - intersectional considerations and the impact on research.
October 12, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBRepresentation matters - and in this episode Dr. Laura Heath-Stout explains why. Laura is an archaeologist, she's queer and she has a disability. We talk about how archaeological findings risk being misinterpreted, the challenge on being queer in an international setting such as an archaeological dig. But this is not just a topic for archaeology or the humanities - this is for everybody, so we chatted about this and how we work with diversity in academia with a special focus on intersect...
Research management from a Global South perspective
September 24, 2021 09:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MBHappy Research Administrators Day! To celebrate Research Administrators Day we decided it was time to learn more about how research management and administration looks like from a Global South perspective. So we had a chat with Therina Theron and Savita Ayyar. Therina is the president of SARIMA ( Southern African Research and Innovation Management Association) and Senior Director of R&I at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Savita is founder of the consultancy Jaquaranda Tree and s...
How can we best support the Afghan research community? A perspective from Kabul
September 14, 2021 09:00 - 35 minutes - 24.3 MBMost watched in disbelief as Taliban regained the power in Afghanistan. Many Afghans escaped but most stayed behind trying to keep society going and maintaining as positive a future as possible for Afghanistan. One of them is Obaidullah Baheer, lecturer at the American University in Kabul. We had the opportunity to talk to him about the situation in Afghanistan and how we can best support him and the many others trying to keep universities running and securing higher education for future ...
The Lost Voices - postdocs, precarity and diversity
June 24, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBYou just have to admire the five people behind "The Lost Voices". We had the fortune of talking to them about the campaign. They started as a group of London based postdocs with diverse backgrounds who found it difficult to navigate academia and couldn't imagine having a career in research. That made them initiate "The Lost Voices" where they told their stories of race, religion, sexuality, ability etc that set them apart - and how precarity made it difficult for them to raise their voices....
Research Integrity - how does it relate to diversity and why should we care?
June 08, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBThis has been a long time coming. But luckily we found Gowri Gopalakrishna and Krishma Labib from Amsterdam UMC , and they we're more than happy to be part of this conversation of the role of diversity in research integrity. They told us about their own research on research integrity (fx the Netherlands Research Integrity Survey and the diversity of the 7th World Conference on Research Integrity), and why some people in the field do not necessarily think diversity should play a role when ...
The role of culture in health workers' approach to LGBTQ+ patients - a conversation with Alfonso Pezella
May 25, 2021 08:00 - 54 minutes - 37.4 MBAlfonso Pezella is a mental health lecturer at Middlesex University, and he has been part of the IENE9 research project that looks at intercultural training for nurses and health care workers in Europe with a focus on LGBTQ+ rights. It was a broad discussion on the role of culture, the health consequences for LGBTQ+ persons and how training can look in this area. We also talked about how this approach can be used in health research collaborations where nurses and health care workers often...
Jonathan Grant and the New Power University (No, it's not a new boyband!)
May 10, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBJonathan Grant is a professor at King’s College London , and we talk to him about his new book “The New Power University”. Jonathan’s book challenged and inspired us, so we had to get him on the podcast to explain how he sees universities changing in the 21st century. We talk about how the world has changed without universities noticing it, and how universities will have to rethink the purpose of universities and how this will affect recruitment and career paths. We think many of you will...

Bibliodiversity: How academic publishing impacts the Global South - and what alternatives could look like
March 16, 2021 09:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBWe were intrigued when we heard about the term bibliodiversity and had to learn more. The result was this eyeopening talk with Dr Arianna Becerril-García. She is a professor at Autonomous University of the State of Mexico and executive director at Redalyc. We talk about the differences in how we look at scholarly publications in the Global North and the Global South, how open access models are the standard in Latin America, how the current models promoted by the Global North are strengthen...
