How do you make your teams inclusive? Clare Sudbery talks to Dr. J Harrison about mental health, pronouns, the difference between diversity and inclusion, unconscious bias, creating safe spaces and how to be an ally to those in under-represented groups.

Dr. J Harrison is ThoughtWorks’ Harbinger of Change. Out as Transgressive Non-Binary GenderQueer for over 10 years, they bring queer theory (with a slice of humour) into the tech space, focusing on inclusivity and intersectionality and taking a strategic view of cultural change in Technology.
