Attitudes are changing, but there are still pockets in academia that definitely see having children and a successful career as incompatible. - Patricia Kingori

I’m very conscious that diversity is sometimes skewed to a very narrow interpretation- it’s generally gender diversity, so racial, social class and other forms of diversity get put on the back foot. That is changing, but it’s changing very slowly.

I’ve had all sorts of horrible experiences where I’ve tried to speak to a head of department and they’ve just said, 'This is part of what you have to deal with.' I don’t think anybody would ever be so blasé about it now. I think it’s changing, but I don’t know to what extent or whether it’s changing quickly enough.

I was going into people’s houses where there were really challenging social problems. Those kinds of challenges really made me question the data I was collecting and why.
