  • Diversity Rocks Episode 9 - Let's Talk Philosophy, AI and Inclusion
    May 21 2026

    In this episode of the Diversity Rocks Podcast, Liz sits down with Dr Paul Jones to explore some big, complex ideasthat sit underneath the work we do in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.


    We get into postmodernism and how it shapes the way we think about inclusion, the role education plays in either opening up or limiting opportunities, and how AI is starting to influence who is seen, heard, and valued. We also go deeper than usual - into philosophy and the bigger questionof what all of this actually means in the context of how we live and work.


    It is one of those conversations that challenges your assumptions and stretches your thinking. Not always comfortable, but definitely thought provoking.

  • Diversity Rocks Podcast Episode 8 - Let's Talk Tourettes
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of the Diversity Rocks Podcast, Liz talks with Ione about living with Tourette’s, breaking down common myths and helping listeners better understand experiences such as coprolalia and copropraxia.

    They explore the real impact Tourette’s can have on everyday life, including the exhaustion of trying to suppress tics, the challenges people face when systems and services fail to support them, and the importance of awareness and understanding.

    Alongside the challenges, the conversation also celebrates humour, joy and resilience, as Ione shares her ambitions and reflects on the reality of having a “spiky profile” - strengths and struggles existing side by side.

    A warm, honest and eye-opening conversation about inclusion, misunderstanding, and making space for people to be fully themselves.
