Diversity is a fact, inclusion is an act

We'd like to invite everyone at our faculty - and beyond - to make work of inclusion, in the diverse environment that we are. Of course, that requires the most inclusive invitation possible.

An act that requires compassion, awareness, openness and change. Which might feel uncomfortable at times but is key for our faculty to be a space where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential. Not in isolation, but in connection with others. Together, in our diversity, we make the Humanities a home to understand and interpret the human experience. To reflect, to critique, to rethink to ask big questions without expecting a singular answer. What is academic freedom?
Whose voices tell our history? Why is social justice necessary? No answer is complete if it fails to reflect a multitude of traditions, backgrounds and perspectives. Considering these questions comes with responsibility to educate ourselves and one another. Through questions of power and positionality. Redefine academic boundaries recognize mistakes. The emotional impact of words, ideas so we can grow together.

Diversity is a fact. Inclusion is an act. How will you take part?
