Talis Insight Europe 2019: The University of Kent’s project to improve diversity in the curricula

Ensuring better diversity in resources provided to students is a goal that many universities have been working towards in recent years. We asked librarians and students from the University of Kent to present at Talis Insight Europe 2019 to share their collaborative project.

This session was presented by Emma Mires-Richards and Sarah Field, Liaison Librarians, and Evangeline Agyeman and Collins Konadu-Mensah, Student Diversity Mark Officers at the University of Kent.

Evangeline shared the following with us:

“My role was a Diversity Mark Project Officer for the University of Kent, upon taking on this role, the aim was to audit a set reading lists by finding the nationalities and ethnicities of authors within these reading lists.
