Dr Andri Georgiadou is Co-Director of the Nottingham EDI in Research Hub, a community-led, cross-institutional initiative that brings together researchers, leaders and practitioners to advance equity, diversity and inclusion in research culture across the university. She is Associate Professor at Nottingham University Business School, where she serves as Director of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and External Engagement Director for Work, Organisation and Management. She is a member of the University’s AI Panel of Experts.
Her research examines how inclusion is shaped by cultural context, temporal norms, and algorithmic systems. Across multiple institutional contexts, she has investigated why diversity practices that work in one setting often fail in another, finding that inclusion is constituted through ongoing social practice rather than delivered through transferable programmes.
A focus of her work is temporality and exclusion. She developed the concept of ‘timeism’: the systematic exclusion of individuals whose temporal rhythms deviate from institutionalised norms. This reveals how organisations embed assumptions about ‘normal’ time into policies and technologies in ways that disadvantage workers with different temporal needs.
Her current research examines how AI reshapes workplace inclusion, including how managers perceive fairness in algorithmic versus human decision-making.
Dr Georgiadou publishes in Human Resource Management, Human Resource Management Journal, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Business Research and Gender, Work & Organization, where she serves as Associate Editor. She has guest-edited special issues on the future of work, digital HRM, and feminist AI. Her research programme has attracted over €3.5 million in funding.
She chairs the Diversity and Equality Research Interest Group at EuroMed Academy and contributes to the COST Action “Human-IT” examining AI’s impact on work and society. She serves on ISO committees for AI, gender equality, and human capital, and works with organisations across sectors on inclusion in hybrid and technology-enabled workplaces.
