Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Do equality, diversity & inclusion policies provide sufficient support for ECRs?

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Over recent years academic institutions have increasingly sought to establish policies to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives amongst students and university staff. On paper, this sounds like a progressive move towards balancing inequalities which people from under-represented groups face, but how effective have these initiatives been in practice? In this blog, Kamar reflects on whether EDI policies provide sufficient support for early career researchers (ECRs), and considers the wider impact they might have on dementia research.
