We are working on a number of initiatives that reflect Faculty priorities. These include: Delivering our Athena Swan Action Plan with focused work on gender equality in recruitment, research culture and the student experience; A series of Lectures exploring the value of the arts and humanities for equality, diversity and inclusion; and our annual Student equality, diversity and inclusion Prize.

The Faculty Equality and Inclusion Committee (FEIC) is chaired by the Deputy Dean and reports to the Faculty Executive Committee. The Committee meets six times a year. Members represent each of the Faculty’s Schools, professional and technical staff and students (undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD.) It provides an oversight of our equality and inclusion work.
