Keele Institute for Social Inclusion

Keele Institute for Social Inclusion (KISI) aims to draw together a vibrant community of partners across sectors to tackle the issues of inequality on a local, national and global scale.

Our mission

All societies are living with challenges caused by widening inequalities, by rapid transformations of environment, technologies, services, and opportunities, and by profound questions about who we are and what the future holds.

Keele Institute for Social Inclusion brings researchers together with communities, stakeholders and policy makers to amplify the reach we can have together, to include diverse voices and to build a more equal and fair society.

We do this by encouraging and developing research and partnerships to create spaces to understand and address these most pressing social and political problems
