University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Humanities | Sgoil nan Daonnachdan

We aim to create an environment where all staff and students are welcome and included, and where discriminatory attitudes and behaviour are not tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination based on the protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010*.

This is in alignment with the University of Glasgow’s Equality and Diversity Policy which states ‘The University aims to create a learning and working environment based on fostering good relations between all people, with a shared commitment to promoting respect for all, and challenging and preventing stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination and harassment’ and supports the recommendation that the University ‘strive to increase the racial diversity of students and staff’ as made by the University of Glasgow History of Slavery Steering Committee in 2018, and subsequently supported by the publications of the Understanding Racism, Transforming University Cultures report and associated Action Plan in 2021.

* Protected characteristics include age, sex, sexual orientation, disabilities, race, religion or belief and gender reassignment.
