The Department of Economics in collaboration with the Quantitative and Analytical Political Economy Research Centre (QAPEC) and the Wellbeing, Equality, Diversity, and Gender Group (WEDGG) is delighted to welcome Professor Paola Profeta, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Inclusion and Sustainability at Bocconi University, to give a guest lecture.

'Advancing Equality and Inclusion in a Diverse World'.

Diversity is a fact. Inclusion is a choice. In spite of its growing importance in organisations, many obstacles still prevent individuals to reach their fullest potential, to develop their sense of belonging and fully contribute to the organisation. There are several reasons why the practice of inclusion is today a strategic goal for firms and organisations, not only related to equality but also to efficiency outcomes. This session will present some data of scenario and examples related to gender equality and women's empowerment, with a focus on academia.

Date: Thursday 24 October
Time: 1.00-2.00pm
Location: A0.23, Social Sciences

This event is for students and staff only and registration is required in order to attend.

Dr Michela Redoano will introduce the speaker and chair the event. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A at the end of the lecture. This will then be followed by an opportunity to network with colleagues and Paola over a light lunch

Title: 'The man who photobombed De Gaulle'

Abstract: The 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Paris offers an opportunity to explore the discrepancy between race-based mythologies around the second world war and black involvement in the war and what that tells us about Europe as a whole and how black people’s presence here is misunderstood. How would conversations about responsibility, obligation, entitlement, sacrifice, patriotism, immigration, integration, welfare, equality and justice be understood when it applied to black people if their contributions to the war were fully acknowledged.

Gary will highlight these issues with specific reference to the decision to ensure only white French troops could be seen to liberate Paris and the scene, the day after the Liberation, in which a Gabonese soldier, Georges Dukson, effectively photobombs General De Gaulle as he parades along the Champs Elysee.
