We are working on a number of initiatives that reflect Faculty priorities. These include: working groups on race equality and an application for a Bronze Athena Swan Award. As part of this work, we have undertaken research into the impacts of Covid-19 on academic and professional colleagues and made recommendations to support recovery from the pandemic. 

You can find out more about current projects here. We also welcome suggestions for new projects and for cross-faculty collaboration. To propose a project or find out more about our work contact Kate Nash, Equality and Inclusion Lead. 

The Faculty Equality and Inclusion Committee provides oversight of our equality and inclusion work. Chaired by the Deputy Dean the Committee is made up of student, staff and postgraduate representatives.
