Keon West is a Professor of Social Psychology who transforms complex research on identity, prejudice, and representation into practical insights for organisations navigating diversity challenges. His expertise is backed by over 60 published papers cited more than 1800 times in scientific literature.
With international roots spanning Trinidad, Jamaica, the USA, and France, Keon earned his doctorate as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. His acclaimed work includes the audiobook Skewed and his recent publication The Science of Racism. He regularly shares his expertise through BBC, Channel 4, and various media outlets.
Keon helps organisations move beyond superficial diversity initiatives to implement evidence-based strategies that create genuine inclusion. His research-driven approach identifies hidden biases within workplace cultures and provides actionable frameworks for meaningful change, particularly valuable for companies facing increasing pressure to address systemic inequalities.
Audiences leave Keon's presentations with practical tools to recognise unconscious bias in decision-making, strategies to build truly inclusive teams, and data-backed approaches to measure progress on diversity initiatives rather than relying on intuition alone.
Book Keon for insights that bridge rigorous academic research with practical business applications, transforming how your organisation approaches diversity and inclusion.
