Culture Pillar

Culture Pillar

Through the activities of the Awards and Projects Committees the Culture Pillar will disseminate exemplary outputs notable for its embedded inclusive practices that are far-reaching and public facing.

Momentum will be built through our endeavours not only for the short-term but will continue and be sustained for the long-term, creating impact within and without Higher Education Institutions.

Through actively using a diverse and inclusive lens, we seek to address inequalities in representation by disrupting the well-established and accepted norms of current practice. We unpack the ‘Who, what, where, when and why’, starting with, “Who is not being represented?”

Pillar President: Ezinma Mbeledogu
