The Noon Centre for Equality and Diversity in Business seeks to promote a thriving research environment, focusing areas of recognised need and relevance to the strategic contexts of the University of East London. Typically, our research approach is applied and collaborative in nature. Distinctively original, and often with cross-disciplinary teams, our research has an overarching aim to identify and implement solutions to a range of challenges.
We have a number of internationally recognised scholars within the thematic areas in which it is engaged. The Noon Centre makes a significant contribution to research on the interconnections between equality, diversity and business, using minority groups as a prism.
It is hoped that the Centre will attract visiting researchers, corporate partners and external funding to support the development and extend understanding of best practices in achieving workplace diversity. RDBS in the past has had considerable experience and reputation in this broad area of work. For example, the School led a consortium under the auspices of the Black Business Observatory (BBO) to deliver funded research on the dynamics of entrepreneurship among African and Caribbean groups across southeast England. The BBO contributed to generating evidence-based understandings to bridge the gap between academic, policy and practice environments.
Students who participate in Noon Centre-funded programmes will be tracked into the labour force. This will enable the Centre to monitor their progress and gather informed data as to what programmes and projects work best in terms of enhancing not only the student experience, but also in leading to successful careers.
