As part of the wider University of Oxford commitment to equality and valuing diversity, the Faculty of History is committed to creating an environment in which everyone – at every academic level from undergraduate to professor, and among professional and support staff, regardless of background and identity – can fulfil their potential.  The Faculty of history holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all.

As part of our commitment to the Athena Swan charter, the Faculty of History has recently communicated a Statement of Values which under pins it’s commitment to equality and diversity and the Athena Swan charter.   The Faculty’s Bronze Award recognises the work we have begun to do, but importantly commits us to a range of actions which we hope will make us a more diverse and equal community.
