Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We know that to be a world-class university we must be a truly inclusive university. We are proud of our One Community and are committed to work together to create a fully inclusive environment where everyone can achieve their full potential.
We Collaborate, We Challenge, We Transform
At Lincoln, we challenge the traditional approach to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). We bring about the changes needed to create a diverse and inclusive environment by adopting transformational and progressive practices, founded on the need to ask questions, to challenge, to seek solutions, to look for evidence of change, and to measure impact. We take a systems-based approach, working holistically across the whole institution to change the embedded structures and processes that lead to inequalities and isolation.
At the heart of our work is the Eleanor Glanville Institute. The Institute is a unique ‘hybrid’ department where academics and professional services staff work together, forging researcher-practitioner collaborations to underpin our inclusive practices by research, to develop new robust interventions informed by research, and to evaluate our impact and progress towards achieving our ambitions.
Why Diversity and Inclusion Matters
We know that strength lies in difference, and not in similarity. We know that diverse groups of people with different cultures, views and perspectives, can offer new approaches to be more innovative, creative and effective at problem solving. We can build diversity through inclusive policies and practices ─ tapping into the broadest possible pool of talent.
Diversity in our staff and student communities drives creative and innovative research and teaching, enhances our sense of belonging, and leads to a high-quality staff and student experience. Through diversity, we are better equipped to solve some of the world’s current and future grand challenges.
