MAKING IT HAPPEN - Finding Solutions for Tackling Barriers to Promotion for Staff in Higher Education - Apr 2010
DATE: Thursday 10th June
VENUE: SOAS
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS:
Clare Harty, D&I Manager Barclays;
Professor Nirmala Rao, Vice Principal SOAS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This conference is aimed at senior leaders and practitioners who have a responsibility to promote staff in Higher Education.
There is a growing body of evidence that staff from under-represented groups are less likely to be promoted in Higher Education in the UK. In spite of this evidence and various positive action initiatives, the ‘complexion’ at senior levels in higher education has not changed significantly in the last ten years. SOAS, Institute of Education and the University of Oxford in collaboration with Schneider~Ross have looked at not just the barriers but also at what are the possible solutions - the two or three actions that will make a real difference.
By hosting this conference we aim to:-
‘Dymystify some of the myths that have been around for more than two decades.
Facilitate dynamic conversations on how Universities can move forward and achieve what appears impossible.
Draw on the expertise of practitioners and leading thinkers. Our speakers are ‘role models’, who will share their story on how to succeed on merit and influence the culture of higher education in the UK.
The cost of the seminar is £90.00 inc of VAT. If you are interested in registering please contact Raquel Anstee de Mas on the email below or on +44 1264 882 410.
