Equality Diversity & Inclusion (EDI)

We are committed to promoting equality and diversity, and ensuring the department is inclusive and welcoming to all staff and students. We are continually learning through this process and welcome all feedback and comments.

As anthropologists, we believe we should critically engage with the legacies and current politics within our field, centring people and places pushed to the margins, and actively debate our discipline's role in, and obligations to, the world today.

The department's EDI Committee is responsible for overseeing Equality, Diversity and Inclusion activities and initiatives in the department. The current chairs are Caroline Garaway and Ruth Harper. Please get in touch if you would like any further information.

This webpage provides a list of EDI resources available to all staff and students. We also have a dedicated EDI Moodle page with more information on departmental EDI initiatives available to Anthropology staff and students.

Please note you can also access help and support related to your wellbeing, mental health, disability or neurodivergency from UCL's student support and wellbeing service.

Should you feel you have encountered, or been subject to, sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia or prejudice against your religious belief, or if you have been discriminated against on the basis of your disability or sexual, ethnic or social identity, please contact us or the relevant UCL contacts listed in the pages below. UCL has a robust Report + Support system which should be used to report instances of bullying, harassment (including sexism, racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia or prejudice against your religious belief) and sexual misconduct.
