As an internationally educated nurse (IEN) in the NHS and now a lecturer in nursing in a UK university, I have witnessed first-hand how IEN academics enrich nursing education in various UK universities. Unfortunately, despite these strengths, IEN academics often feel marginalised and feel a sense of not belonging. This reflects a missed opportunity in the nursing education sector in maximising the benefits of a diverse nurse educator workforce. This enables nursing students to adhere to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code’s requirement of “prioritising people” by recognising and promoting diversity in nursing care. IEN academics need mentors, allies and sponsors who will open doors and validate their contributions to enable them to thrive in academia and achieve their highest potential.

British Colonial Strategy: Undermining Indian BusinessPost-Independence Continuity of Colonial BiasIndia’s deep-rooted shift from a nation of business owners to one dominated by salaried employees did not happen by chance. Their success symbolized a deeply rooted entrepreneurial ecosystem that thrived under the Mughal administration.However, this momentum was disrupted as British colonial influence grew stronger in the 19th century. According to Mukherjea, the British began systematically displacing Indian entrepreneurs through discriminatory regulations and social engineering. Over time, they associated Indian entrepreneurial groups—particularly Gujaratis, Marwaris, Sindhis, and Parsis—with negative stereotypes. The civil service, inherited from the British Indian administration, continued to hold a skeptical view of private enterprise.
