Equity, diversity and inclusion
The College of Human and Social Futures (CHSF) strives for excellence in the threefold missions of the university – teaching, research and community. Within each of those missions we foreground and seek to embed equity, diversity and inclusion. This commitment is deeply embedded in our goals and evident in our values.
Taking up the challenge proffered in the United Nations Sustainable Development goals we seek to ‘Be the change’ and ‘Live the values’.
The CHSF vision is to be a leading advocate and driving force for equity, overcoming injustice and admitting past social and economic injustices, widening participation, promoting diversity and fairness, and increasing success for all.
We seek to be welcoming, inclusive and foresightful in all our endeavours and embrace a culture of respect, work-life balance and wellbeing for all staff and students.
