The School of History, Classics and Archaeology is dedicated to valuing and celebrating diversity, and ensuring equality for all staff, students, and visitors.
History, Classics and Archaeology should be for everyone. We are committed to creating a community which is inclusive and respectful of all our staff and students, and their lived experiences. We recognise that staff and students may experience multiple intersecting exclusions based on characteristics such as race, gender, sexuality, age, class and disability. As individuals dedicated to the study of the human past, in all its forms, we acknowledge the strong ties between past histories of colonialism, racism, and the oppression of subaltern groups, and our contemporary experiences. We also believe that equality, diversity and inclusion are essential to the future of our disciplines. Lack of diversity diminishes our disciplines. It leads us to ask narrower questions, lose sight of broader human experiences and concerns, and miss invaluable perspectives. We are committed to breaking down barriers to entry and belonging, and to amplifying marginalised voices.
Dr Emily Brownell and Dr Lilah Grace Canevaro, Co-Directors of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
