Inviting everyone to the table: How to approach inclusion in higher education marketing

Identity diversification is based not only on national or regional cultures but increasingly on ethnicity, gender, sexuality and social awareness. As we plan our recruitment campaigns, we must consider more diversified and nuanced identities in order to attract international students. But do we know how to consciously take into account the complex identities of candidates? In addition to the traditional notion of the integration of individuals, the idea of alignment of diverse identities is taking centre stage. This workshop will explore diversity and inclusion in marketing.
