Let's Talk About... Planning Strategically for Gender Equity

Join us for our collaborative research seminar organised between the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Manchester, City of London, and Cambridge Centres to promote inclusive research activities.

Hosted every two months, this series aims to shine a spotlight on various equity, diversity, and inclusivity topics in cancer research.

Our next seminar focuses on gender inequity, and how research institutions are planning to address these issues.

About the Talk Prof Rachel Cowen is University of Manchester's lead for EDI with a responsibility for Gender and Sexual Orientation. Her work in academic development focuses on how to address structural inequities in HEI systems to ensure that the next generation of researchers is more representative of the society in which we belong.

Rachel will explore the history of women in academic positions, demonstrating how her work aims to build inclusive practice, train and develop leaders, and embed the University's overall commitment to Athena Swan, tackling barriers to access, progression and attainment.
