Prof Nishan Canagarajah, President and Vice Chancellor, University of Leicester

Prof Nishan Canagarajah and Sir Eric Thomas discuss plural cities in the UK, a university's civic purpose, the delivery of Milton and Shakespeare, history lessons, and how to ensure curricula, assessment, and student experience reflect the diversity of the surrounding student body. Prof Canagarajah also addresses the challenge of universities staying relevant both locally and globally, progress around ethnic and gender diversity at the university leadership level, plus moving from Sri Lanka to Cambridge and his lived experience as an international student. An incredible amount packed into 30 minutes, a must listen for university leaders, staff, and students.
