LJMUs Womens Professorial Network in association with the Women Academics Network, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team and Pro VC of Research and Enterprise Professor Keith George, are proud to present the opportunity for all women academics and professional service staff at LJMU, to participate in the Universitys first ever virtual Women Academic Progression Symposium.
The main University examinations will take place between 27 April - 7 May 2020.
Submissions are still invited from staff and students and collaborative partner institutions, as well as other colleagues working in post-16 education.
This year's conference will take place on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 June and submissions are now invited from staff and students and collaborative partner institutions, as well as other colleagues working in post-16 education.
Our staff networks have been integral in progressing certain policies for LJMU staff, including on maternity leave and menopause.
As part of the University’s commitment to supporting equality and diversity in the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), we have put in place safe and supportive structures for eligible academic staff to declare information about any equality-related circumstances that may have affected their ability to research productively during the assessment period (1 January 2014 – 31 December 2020), and particularly their ability to produce research outputs at the same rate as staff not affected by circumstances.
The start of the academic year can be a good time to review your pension arrangements. All academic teaching staff are reminded that they can sign-up to an online portal if they are members of the Teachers Pension Scheme.
Colleagues are currently running the Culture, Employment and Development in Academic Research Survey (CEDARS) to harness your views, and to understand your experiences and needs as a researcher at LJMU.
We caught up with the co-chairs of the current LJMU staff networks to find out what they have already achieved and what their plans are for 2022.
LJMU's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Team reached out to a number of inspirational women-academics across the institution and asked them to share their personal journeys...here is what they had to say.
