Workshop on ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education’ by Dr Savvidou and Dr Tatsioka

An interactive and informative workshop took place on ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education’ in the context of the Student Spring Symposium 2023. Dr Suzie Savvidou, Head of the Psychology Department, and Dr Zoi Tatsioka, Head of the Humanities Department, defined key concepts of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), such as intercultural competence, allyship, inclusive language, unconscious bias, microaggressions, and intersectionality, among others, and discussed various ways through which EDI can be promoted in academia. CITY College students and staff also participated in the discussion and offered interesting insights into the topic as well as useful feedback.
