In this second episode of the NEXUS podcast series, we explore how a gender and diversity perspective can be considered in scientific research contents and methods, with a special focus on Artificial Intelligence. For this, we are honoured to have Roger Søraa us today. Roger is Professor at NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology and has been part of the Gendered Innovations Expert Group.

Episode 5
In this episode of the NEXUS podcast, we are honored to have Svetlana Dimitrova from Sofia University and EURAXESS Bulgaria joining us. Svetlana is a key figure in supporting the Science4Refugees initiative, which connects researchers who have been displaced with opportunities in academic institutions across Europe. Today, we’ll explore the development of the Refugee Hub, the importance of inclusive research environments, and how institutions can play a pivotal role in supporting refugee researchers. Stay tuned for a compelling discussion on fostering inclusivity and opportunities for displaced talent!
Episode 6
In this episode of the NEXUS podcast, we are joined by Grace Ese-Osa Idahosa, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Education of the University of Cambridge, to explore possibilities for change towards inclusion in Higher Education. Dr Idahosa focuses on two complementary lines of inquiry: on the one hand, agency and higher education transformation, and on the other, feminist and decolonial thought. Her research spans across different contexts, including South Africa, India and Northern Ireland. With reference to Dr Idahosa’s research on individual experiences of inequality in Higher Education institutions, we discuss how enabling and constraining conditions affect experiences of belonging, and how to promote critical self-reflection and foster sustainable change.
