Equality and diversity

The School of Divinity, History and Philosophy is committed to equality and diversity in all its activities. We recognise that in many aspects of academic life there are factors, both subtle and overt, that privilege or disadvantage members of different gender, ethnic and disability groups. We aim to understand and tackle these factors in order to ensure a fair and equal work and study environment, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age and disability.
