Research
Gender Equity at Imperial
Over the last year, ICU led a research project into the experiences of women at Imperial. Over 200 of you took part in this research, and we have now written the results into a report which you can read below! We are in discussions with the university on how we can use these results to inform improvements towards gender equity and help make Imperial welcoming and inclusive to students of all genders.
See the drop downs below for other recent projects we have been working on.
