Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We are committed to the fundamental equality and dignity of all members of our community, and we would like to make the Faculty of Philosophy welcoming to everyone.
We believe that philosophy should be fully inclusive, and we aim to provide a working, learning, and social environment in which everyone is treated with respect so that we can all reach our full potential.
The Faculty's work in this area is overseen by the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, which is chaired by the EDI Officer Professor Monima Chadha (LMH). The Committee meets once a term before the Faculty Board meeting to which it reports.
We actively welcome input from the wider Faculty community into the ongoing work of the EDI Committee.
Monima holds regular EDI office hours during term time. In Michaelmas Term, these will take place on Fridays of Weeks 3 and 8, from 11 am to 12 pm, either in person at LMH, 4 Fyfield Road (first floor), or online. If you would like to discuss any EDI-related suggestions or concerns, please book an appointment by email.
You can also contact Monima at any time by email or to make EDI suggestions, report EDI-related issues, and to suggest works that you think would help diversify the Faculty's reading lists. Monima liaises with other EDI Officers across the Humanities Division and sends regular email updates with information and resources relating to EDI.
Any EDI questions or concerns can also be directed to the Humanities Division's EDI Officer, Machilu van Bever Donker.
