Our aims and values
The network aims to help disadvantaged minoritised colleagues achieve their full potential. We aim to do this by creating positive change that benefits Newcastle University and the wider community in becoming ever more equitable.
NU-REN has three broad strategic aims:
- To promote equity & reduce systemic disadvantages for minority ethnic groups.
- To improve career & professional development opportunities.
- To build a sense of community and belonging.
The network realises that to achieve our strategic vision we must embed intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) into our strategic vision.
