About us
“Communicating Diversity: Intelligent Impulses” is a collaborative initiative designed to explore and raise awareness about key aspects of diversity that touch our daily lives in academia. Every month starting in January 2025, we’ll be sharing a short and thought-provoking impulse—a spark—to encourage reflection and discussion. These impulses focus on the challenges and opportunities diversity brings, from the workplace to our broader communities. Read below to discover the diversity topics that we care about.
