International Women’s Day, 8 March 2024, provides us with an opportunity to shine a light on inspirational women in our community and reflect on our progress as an organisation towards gender equality. In a follow-up blogpost, our Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, Professor Judith Squires shares how our role as a global civic university contributes to creating a safer, more inclusive city by supporting women’s empowerment.
As a global civic university, our aspirations can ‘be best shaped and delivered collectively by a diverse and empowered university community’ (University Vision and Strategy 2030). A key component of that approach is improving our processes and structures to provide a level field for every member of our community.
