Gender Equality Focus Group new Finished 12:30 - 13:30

You are invited to join one of two upcoming online focus groups on gender equality at Cambridge.

We want to understand more about people’s lived experiences of their working environment and work culture, and how those are affected by gender (and other protected characteristics).

The discussions are inclusive and open to individuals of all genders.

The University Gender Champions, Professor Sarah Colvin and Dr Liz Hide, will be in attendance to listen and guide the discussion.

The data from these focus groups will complement other data being gathered – for example by the Staff Culture Survey circulated earlier this year – as part of the University’s application to renew its Silver Athena Swan Charter.

This is an online session

We would like to invite you to participate in an exciting collaborative research study titled “Cross-Cultural Exploration of Gender and Parenthood Perceptions and Practices in Higher Education: A Brazil-UK Comparative Study,” led by Dr. Charikleia Tzanakou from Oxford Brookes University.

The study aims to understand how parenthood is conceptualized and practiced in UK higher education institutions, including the University of Cambridge, and your input would be invaluable. This focus group is designed to explore parenthood policies and practices, with the aim of developing a database of good practices to inspire other institutions.

Your participation will help shape our understanding of parenthood policies in higher education, and the University will gain a greater understanding of what we can do to support our staff parents.

This is an online session via zoom. Joining details will be available on your booking confirmation email.
