MAHE Dubai Beyond Boundaries | Ep 6 - Learning, Belonging, Leading: Making Inclusion Real in Dubai

In Episode 6 of Beyond Boundaries, the official podcast by MAHE Dubai, host Sophiya Anjam sits down with two powerhouses to unpack what diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) really look like in the workplace and on campus - and what it truly means to learn, belong, and lead inclusively. Thenji Moyo - Partner & Head of Employment at Gateley Middle East, and a recognized DEI champion in the UAE, brings the industry lens: where inclusion policy meets everyday workplace practice, and where true inclusive leadership is tested — not just written into a handbook. Shalini Krishnadas Nair - Head of Student Affairs at MAHE Dubai Campus, brings the academic lens: how universities in Dubai are building diverse, multicultural campus environments where every student, regardless of nationality or background, truly feels they belong. Together, they explore workplace inclusion, student belonging, cultural diversity in the UAE, and what closes the gap between saying "we're inclusive" and actually being inclusive. Whether you're a student navigating a multicultural university campus, a parent evaluating higher education options in Dubai, an HR professional working on DEI initiatives, or a business leader focused on inclusive leadership - this conversation is for you.
