Our Head of Department, Professor Wendy Barclay<\/a>, shares her thoughts on how we can all support equality, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) as effective advocates and allies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How much do you really know about EDI at Imperial?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today I went to my first Head of Departments\u2019 lunch, at 58 Princes Gate. The theme was Staff Networks. I am ashamed to say I learned a lot, most of which I should have known already. Perhaps you do, but here is a little quiz to see:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What does BAME stand for?<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. What is the Imperial College motto on our coat of arms (and do you think it is apt for the 21st<\/sup> century?)<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. How can you get a rainbow lanyard?<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. What are the names of the Imperial College staff network groups that represent BAME, LGBTQ+ and disabled member of our community?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The answers can be found here on the web-pages for the staff networks<\/p>\n
