I love these cartoons!! So much better than the unequal balance on a pair of scales. And the #JEDI is great too! What do @ResNetNorwich followers think? Perhaps a cartoon re support for disability is also needed?

We love this illustration from @lunchbreath!

The language around JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) is still far from mainstream.

We need to be speaking the same language in order to make progress.

@JoDrugan @GillMalin @uniofeastanglia so many surveys...all pointing in much the same direction results-wise...... don't recall one on teaching but there may have been one. Would have made sense to join them though

[ResNetNorwich @ResNetNorwich]
