“The new, government-funded study in the UK will be centered at the University of Birmingham.

“’[W]e will trial some innovative interventions such as “reverse mentoring,” where a junior BAME [Black, Asian, and minority ethnic] woman coaches a senior male, white professor, and empowering academics to challenge senior-level decisions, with appropriate backing and support,’ said computer science Professor Jon Rowe, the program’s director, in a news release.”
