We are still conducting research in environments were many are still treated unequally and facing barriers which prohibit them from finding and reaching their true potential, despite the fact that equality and diversity lead to better research, better researchers, and better research institutions.
During this 4-part course we will share our experiences and build our understanding of the gender inequalities that persist in higher education and research. We will unpack the causes and the systems that reward some and discriminate against others, finding, and developing strategies for dealing with the day-to-day challenges and frustrations as well as exploring how we can be part of and lead the systematic change that will happen.
Session 1: Exploring identities; understanding barriers.
Session 2: Challenging the status quo; becoming inclusive.
Session 3. Building our knowledge; finding our voice.
Session 4. Making change happen; sustainability and care.
