Conscious humour to foster inclusion and diversity | Dr. Vanessa Marcie | TEDxCambridgeUniversity

We often think there is only one type of humour: ours. And whoever isn't laughing at our jokes has no sense of humour. Your sense of humour determines who you are and says a lot about you, your personality, your background, your values.
Today, diversity and inclusion are key organisational challenges. What if there is an unexpected solution to foster inclusion and improve diversity?
In this talk, Dr. Vanessa Marcie explains why she believes humour can provide a path to inclusion & diversity in organisations.
