Diversity statement
Addressing inequality, diversity and social change is needed if we want to reduce the social and environmental impacts of our current lifestyles/consumption, combat poverty and food insecurity, and address health inequalities.
Critical challenges like climate change and health inequalities are interrelated issues that directly and unevenly affect populations. Consumption and Healthy Lifestyles is committed to fostering equity, diversity and social change within and beyond our group and institution through engagement in and initiation of responsive and innovative research and education practices that recognize, promote, value, and leverage differences between students, staff and stakeholders, therein supporting a shift towards a more inclusive and equal society in which all are able to achieve a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
We will do this by:
- Ensuring that education materials and content reflect a range of knowledges, therein promoting epistemic justice;
- Encouraging staff to draw on pedagogies that foster educational spaces that serve students across different backgrounds, enable their engagement with the selected materials, and reward diverse ways of participating and learning, therein promoting epistemic freedom.
“The devoted supervision and feedback is what made me choose for CHL. I got to learn about my strengths and challenges on a both content-related and personal level.”
