Women continue to face biases in education despite increased participation.
Given the theme of inspiring inclusion, it's imperative to ask: does academic research sufficiently inspire inclusion?

Watching television snuggled between my parents or grandparents; talking to them for hours; rubbing their feet when they were tired from work. On quite a few of these occasions, my father will say something that he means as a compliment, but one that takes me by surprise every time.

Violence against women remains one of the most pervasive global human rights violations. The Sustainable Development Goals include the elimination of all forms of violence against women and girls as a specific target. UN Women, together with all its partners, is working to support countries in the area of comprehensive laws and policies for ending violence, prevention, provision of quality essential services and improved data collection and analysis.
West Indian firebrand Chris Gayle has likened himself to football superstars Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo in his recently-released autobiography, 'Six Machine: I Don’t Like Cricket, I Love It'.
