Diversity Rocks Episode 9 - Let's Talk Philosophy, AI and Inclusion

In this episode of the Diversity Rocks Podcast, Liz sits down with Dr Paul Jones to explore some big, complex ideasthat sit underneath the work we do in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. We get into postmodernism and how it shapes the way we think about inclusion, the role education plays in either opening up or limiting opportunities, and how AI is starting to influence who is seen, heard, and valued. We also go deeper than usual - into philosophy and the bigger questionof what all of this actually means in the context of how we live and work. It is one of those conversations that challenges your assumptions and stretches your thinking. Not always comfortable, but definitely thought provoking.
