Diversity Week

Thank you to everyone who participated in, assisted with or attended Diversity Week. We are currently preparing this section of the site to host resources and information relating to the week's events.

Diversity Week ran from 2nd to 6th March 2009.

The theme for the week was “exploring difference to inform learning in research, teaching, engagement, work and life” and each of the themes had a series of events associated with it.

The week was focused around themed and interactive discussions to share best practice and develop new opportunities.

Some of the key note speakers

• Professor Chris Brink, Vice Chancellor, Newcastle University
  • transcript and audio recording of the Vice Chancellor's lecture
• Derek Munn, Director of Public Policy for Stonewall
