Who are we?
"We're in the process of setting up the committee for this year and determining our priorities. We're really keen to hear from staff/students in the School with any thoughts you have about how we can make Humanities a more welcoming and inclusive place; please fill in our anonymous form (responses will be available on the EDI Sharepoint page)
or email jonathan.robson@nottingham.ac.uk or
sasha.garwood1@nottingham.ac.uk with your ideas."

We are responsible for implementing EDI initiatives across the School, within the context of University and Faculty EDI policies, collaborating with other groups in the School and further afield. These include:
- working towards an inclusive environment for staff and students which is not only free from discrimination, but also celebrates and values diversity
- hosting training events for staff
- contributing to important events like Black History Month, LGBT+ History Month, and Disability History Month
- supporting the decolonisation and diversification of curricula
- addressing degree-awarding gaps
- monitoring equality impact assessments (EIAs)
The Committee meets termly and has several affiliated working groups.
