Diversity Focus is a research and consulting organisation dedicated to advancing racial equity and culturally responsive practice within education institutions.

Founded by researcher and educator Elizabeth Lang, Diversity Focus was established from a vision of creating more equitable systems through research-informed dialogue and practical action. In an increasingly diverse society, education institutions play an important role in shaping equitable opportunities and inclusive learning environments.

Diversity Focus partners with schools, colleges and universities to strengthen racial literacy, support inclusive leadership and contribute to meaningful institutional change through research, strategy and professional learning.
