Role Models at Division of Psychiatry

Nick Bass

Associate Professor/ Honorary Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist

I believe that men taking on a fair share of childcare, both in a practical and psychological sense, is a key factor in achieving gender equity.

I am deeply aware of the fact that we do not start our life including our education on a level playing ground. This principle informs my work within UCL EDI, and in turn allows me to contribute toward its activities.

Professor and honorary consultant in rehabilitation psychiatry

Visible signs of support are so important ... having visible role models makes it even clearer that this is a good place for LGB people to work.

Karoline Kuchenbäcker

Associate Professor

Mentoring the next generation of scientists is a way to pass this on and help shape a future research scene that is collaborative and diverse.

Mekeda X Logan

Research Assistant

Being a part of the EDI also gives me reassurance that I can be supported and heard at UCL regardless of my age, gender, and race.

Noorjaben Monowari

Teaching and Learning Administrator

EDI allowed me to be more vocal and confident and very fortunate to represent the professional services team!

Liam Pikett

Research Assistant

Research and psychology don’t tend to be very representative in regards to gender, class and ethnicity, ... , so having an EDI initiative is crucial to make underrepresented and marginalised groups feel more welcome.

Sarah Rowe

Associate Professor

To me, EDI is about creating an environment where everyone has an equal voice and feels heard, they are offered the same opportunities and are valued.

Talen Wright

Phd Student

Seeing other trans people working and thriving in academic settings was and is a source of great inspiration and helps maintain my drive to produce work that empowers any marginalised community that I work with.
