<p>The aim of this podcast is to give a platform to students and educators who have experience with the barriers to diversity and inclusion in postgraduate education. In this episode, we chat to Dr. Ben Britton, an associate professor in Materials, who shares his views and opinions on diversity and inclusion in academia, from the standpoint of an established academic. As a staunch and outspoken advocate of Diversity and Inclusion, he speaks about barriers both financial and socio-political in nature, highlighting the issue of postgraduate application fees, touches on topics such as the idea of being 'token' and offers advice to prospective PhD students.</p> <p><br></p>
