Publication - Why EDI Matters

The Equ(al)ity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group of the Coimbra Group published a book - “Why EDI matters” on which worked professors Annalisa Oboe, Věra Sokolová, and Helena Wahlström Henriksson. The book does not ask this question, but rather highlights why equality, diversity and inclusion matters within a democratic society in higher education, especially in today’s world, with political pressures and institutional complexities.  

The book is divided in three sections: The first one focuses on making sustainable futures: education, research, social justice, which brings up crucial questions regarding a range of current issues. The second is about addressing injustice: invisibility, discrimination, violence. Finally, the third section dwells on changing institutional structures: policies, practices, care, stressing on both good examples and recent challenges related to equality, diversity and inclusion.
