How do we foster inclusion? An exploration of how different university services are building a sense of belonging for their communities
How do we reach out to different communities? How do we break down the barriers to our universities, our services, our collections? How do we address issues from our histories? How do make people feel at home?
Practitioners from university services – libraries, museum, staff and student services (names and roles) – talk about how they deliver inclusive services and have overcome some of the barriers they have faced.
Join us to hear about the Bodleian Libraries’ ‘We Are Our History’ project, which has addressed issues of race and Empire in our collections, and considered impact on services and infrastructure. Also come to hear different approaches to diversity from different providers and discuss how we can make our services more inclusive.
The event will be followed by a drinks’ reception to which all attendees are welcome.
Booking is recommended – we look forward to seeing you soon!
