DEWIS Diversity Week event 5 October: join and discuss cultural change
The beginning of this academic year was different. The feelings of excitement because we have a new year ahead of us were mixed with feelings of distress and concern, because of the newspaper articles1 and interviews2 about/from our former colleague Dr. Daphne Stam who left our university before for the summer. She didn't feel heard, she didn't feel treated well.
There are many positive changes to be observed at the TU Delft, but the departure of Dr. Daphne Stam shows that there is still a way to go to create a safe environment that ensures that women want to stay at the university and have fair and equal opportunities to grow in their academic careers. We must all work together to accelerate the culture change with the important role of appreciation, trust, support and social safety.
Daphne, we dedicate this event to you and wish you all the best.
We invite you all to join us at the DEWIS event “Gender diversity, work and caregiving: what academia can learn from business” on 5 October during the D&I week. With presentations from the SER (Socio Economic Council), a panel discussion on accelerating the needed cultural change and a light-hearted theatre performance. Let’s commit to gender diversity, equity and inclusion!
