Despite ongoing efforts to promote anti-racism and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), systemic inequalities persist and academic work often remains limited to Western perspectives, neglecting the rich diversity of global knowledge systems. Women in Cognitive Science-Europe is organising this discussion on occasion of the United Kingdom’s Black History Month, making time to recognise the contribution of Black scholars and thought, and foster conversations that challenge the cultural narratives and practices that marginalise people of colour. We believe we all need to work together to fight against all types of discrimination and marginalisation. Panelists will provide evidence and showcase ongoing initiatives to promote a more inclusive and anti-racist academia. Attendees will gain insights into these issues and be inspired to take action in their own contexts.
