Human context is imbued with certain timeless themes that need periodic revisit, reexamination and renewal. Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI) is one such theme. This would include gender and identity, neurodiversity, social and professional diversity, cultural and ethnic diversity etc. How do we navigate this maze? What role does power inequities play in DEI context? What micro and macro processes are at play here? Is equality synonymous with sameness? How does one acknowledge and grace diversity to achieve equality and inclusion?

To explore this subject and more, here’s a conversation with Meenakshi Krishnan, a researcher and practitioner in gender studies, childcare and development. With a PhD from Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UK and an MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur India, Meenakshi has over two decades of work experience in Corporate HR & independent Organisation Development Consulting. She currently works & lives in Brighton, UK with her daughter and husband.
