June Sarpong introduces her book, Diversify, which encourages us all to seek the unfamiliar and asks whether this could be the key to a brighter future both personally and for society at large.

In this “engaging and informative” (Kofi Annan) call-to-arms, June Sarpong MBE puts the spotlight on groups who are often marginalised in our society, including women, those living with disabilities, and the LGBTQ community. Diversify uncovers how a new approach to how we work, learn and live can help us reach our maximum potential, lessen the pressure on the state, and solve some of the most stubborn challenges we face.

Drawing on new case studies from shared parental leave, to flexible teaching methods, to communal living for pensioners and students and with never-before published research from Oxford University, Diversify is a guide to navigating a new way.
