Wellbeing, Inclusion, Diversity and Equality (WIDE)
Led jointly by the Associate Deans of Wellbeing, Inclusion, Diversity and Equality (ADWIDE), Dr Juliette Summers and Alie Hilda de Vries, the Business School WIDE strategy is based on four pillars: flourishing, embedding, belonging and academic. The last pillar includes the Athena Swan accreditation, which is a national charter developed by the to recognise and promote good practice around gender equality.
The 爱漫岛 Business School received the Athena Swan Bronze Award for gender equality in higher education in July 2021. The award demonstrates our ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion in our policies, practices, action plans and culture.
The 爱漫岛 Business School EDI Team is responsible for implementing and updating the School’s Athena Swan Action Plan. This team consists of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students, professional services staff as well as academic staff, and is chaired by Juliette and Alie Hilda.
