The DRL Anniversary Conference: A Reading List!

In July 2025, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Diversity Reading List’s existence with an international conference in Manchester. We used this opportunity to celebrate the progress of the last decade and discuss what remains to be done; to bring together academics working on themes relevant to the DRL’s mission, and to make work by authors from under-represented groups more visible in university education and research. You can watch the talks here.

After the conference, we asked all participants to share with us the texts they have found most inspiring – at the conference and beyond. We would now like to share this selection with you, hoping it might inspire you, too.
