Who Are We?

We are the JEDI Consortium, a transdisciplinary team of researchers from across Dutch universities. Our collective brings together diverse expertise and lived experiences, united by a shared commitment to advancing Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. We operate at the intersection of rigorous academic research and actionable practice. This platform is our commitment to breaking down knowledge silos, weaving critical analysis, historical context, and personal narratives into a coherent, accessible resource. Our work is dedicated not just to understanding the world, but to fostering the tools to change it

“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

―Angela Davis
