This brand new series from UHR examines current and future roles in HE through the lens of inclusivity. We will explore examples of work being done across the sector, encompassing discussions of academic roles; technical staff career development; diversity in professional services; lived experience of disability; inclusive recruitment; and visible differences in the workplace. Join us to consider what the universities of the future will look like!
This series of six webinars showcases brilliant work going on in the HE sector to recruit, develop, retain and promote a diverse and inclusive workforce. Whether you join us for one or all of the webinars, you’re sure to learn from our fantastic range of presenters, who will get you thinking about what our universities can and will look like in the future.
The webinars will run on Thursday lunchtimes throughout March, April, May and June and you’ll need to book your free place on all of those you would like to attend. You can find the dates below alongside links to book.
