Doing diversity or being diversity? – by Anna Adeniji, Inclusion Academy, Stockholm, moderated by Christofer Fredriksson As institutions of higher education work on inclusion and diversity, there are is a number of dilemmas that need to be adressed in order to not fall back in unconsiuos biases about ”us” and ”them”. In this key note speech Anna Adeniji will give insights on the complexities of inclusion and diversity work by drawing on experiences from higher education in artistic practices in Sweden, and highlight some of the key understandings of inclusion that we need in order to work for sustainable change in institutional diversity work.

Discussion Groups on Diversity Moderated by members of the working group on Diversity and IRC 1:
How important is work on inclusion and diversity for your institution? Why is this work important for your institution? What is the underlying rational for this work? Justice, an issue of educational quality, an issue of artistic quality and concern, or do you plainly aim to follow the guidelines that someone gave you? What strategies have you chosen? What similarities and differences exists compared to the other institutions?
2:
What kind of barriers for underrepresented groups can you identify in your educational institutions? Why are these barriers present? How do these barriers relate to systemic issues, cultural norms, social barriers or resistance?
Please compare between countries and types of institutions in your discussion group.
