The 2025 Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Conference will focus on the impact of intersectionality and its influence in engineering. We will explore how different social categories intersect to influence the engineering workforce and society. The day will provide space for meaningful insight and discussions on intersectionality and its impact on individuals and processes within engineering.
In partnership with the recent EDI Engine report, we will guide the Conference sessions through the lens of the four P’s – People, Partnerships, Products and Processes. These themes will enable us to examine the current best practices in fostering inclusivity and how the engineering industry can enhance its approach to intersectionality. We'll examine our workforce, taking inspiration from Crenshaw's concept of intersectionality, which looks at how the interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, socioeconomic background, gender, and more, can impact an individual or group, leading to increased discrimination or social exclusion.
D&I is central to Academy’s strategy, with this year’s theme building on our previous explorations of engineering change, D&I success, inclusive cultures, and diversity of thought.
We look forward to working together to craft a more inclusive and intersectional future for the engineering landscape.
