The Diversity Committee

The Diversity Committee at IKK works according to the UCPH strategy to acknowledge, accommodate, and increase the focus on equality and diversity.

The word “diversity” is meant to signal that IKK, to a larger extent than is the case at present, should be a place where diverse experiences, positions, and identities – including but not limited to gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, disability, age, class, nationality, and religion – may thrive, develop, and find full expression due to a deliberate engagement with inclusion, self-awareness, and a will to instigate change on behalf of the institution. The committee is particularly attentive to the fact that traditional academic power structures, professionalization, and hierarchies of employment may inhibit a diverse work and study environments, as well as a diverse professional culture.

The Diversity Committee at IKK will address how notions and practices of diversity may support the work of the department by providing inspiration and resources across the following four parameters:

In the understanding of pedagogical frameworks, and the development of new pedagogical tools and methods for promoting diversity and inclusion
In the development of teaching materials and curricula
In the interactions between colleagues, and between teachers and students
In the recruitment and retention of employees and students

The Diversity Committee aims to promote diversity through fostering knowledge about and mutual interest in different perspectives and equal recognition of all (regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, disability, nationality, religion, class, age, etc.), with a special focus on the interrelatedness of the four aforemtioned parameters.
