Associate Dean, Diversity and Inclusion
Welcome
As the Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion at the Faculty of Business and Economics, I am honoured to continue building on the Faculty’s strong commitment to fostering an inclusive, respectful and supportive community for all staff and students.
My research and professional work focus on understanding and addressing the systemic and structural factors that enable or hinder equity, inclusion, and wellbeing, particularly in the workplace. This includes addressing incivility, gender and sexual harassment, unconscious bias, and structural barriers to career progression. I am passionate about ensuring that our Faculty continues to lead with evidence-based approaches that create meaningful change and lasting impact for our community.
Guided by the University's Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2030, I am fortunate to work alongside the Faculty’s FBE|MBSL Diversity and Inclusion Committee, colleagues, and students who are deeply committed to advancing equity and belonging within our Faculty and beyond. Together, we aim to cultivate a safe, fair, and inclusive environment that enables all members of our community to succeed and contribute their best.
