Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Science Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Team are launching an initiative designed to increase the visibility of diverse scientists and redefine the traditional representation of a scientist by displaying the images and stories of diverse science role models throughout history.

The Student Offerings resource was created by the Science EDI Team to outline student support resources both in our faculty and at UNSW broadly. In this pack you will be able to quickly and easily find information on resources available to you to make the most out of your University experience.

The Science Classroom Inclusivity Guidelines are designed to inform inclusive classroom practice and reflect the most contemporary research across the equity, diversity and inclusion field.

The Science Student EDI Awards seek to recognise and celebrate the contributions of our students to the field of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

These guidelines were developed to describe best practice methods of increasing diverse representation in the organization and delivery of an event, to ensure no disadvantage on the basis of diverse characteristics.

These guidelines enable staff to have the impacts of the Australian Bushfires 2019 and COVID-19 considered when discussing achievements they have made during this time.

Our Science EDI working group is responsible for facilitating, supporting, and creating new initiatives, programs, guidelines and activities. It works alongside UNSW Science students and staff to ensure that everyone has equitable opportunities to succeed, regardless of background.

The UNSW Science and Engineering Pre-Program assists Indigenous students with their admission into university. The program is a collaboration between the faculties of Science and Engineering and UNSW’s Centre for Indigenous Programs, Nura Gili.

Browse our collection of Inclusive Webinars designed to educated our community on the importance of inclusive science, research, and policy. These resources have been curated to showcase best practice approaches to partnership, visibility, and representation in Science.

ExpEDIte: The Science Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Roundup is an initiative of the UNSW Faculty of Science EDI Working Group. We collate the recent coverage of EDI topics in the realms of Science, STEM, and higher education. We also include recent academic work relevant to EDI efforts in Science.
