"Equality and Diversity at Goldsmiths
We are passionate about advancing equality and celebrating diversity at Goldsmiths.
Primary page content
At Goldsmiths, University of London, we are deeply committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in both principle and practice. We work to ensure that EDI is embedded across all areas of university life from our policies and teaching to the experiences of our students and staff.
This year, Goldsmiths introduced an Staff Engagement and Wellbeing Plan (PDF) that sets out our EDI commitments for the next three years.
Creating an inclusive and respectful environment where everyone feels they belong is central to our values. We recognise that people thrive when they are seen, heard, and valued for who they are. That’s why we’re committed to removing barriers, addressing inequalities, and supporting the success and wellbeing of our whole community regardless of background, identity, or circumstance.
We know that building an inclusive institution takes sustained effort, collaboration, and openness to change. At Goldsmiths, we are approaching this work with purpose, transparency, and care because EDI is not a single initiative, but a shared responsibility.
The EDI team at Goldsmiths
We are rightly proud of this history. But there is more to do – which is why we have a team of specialists leading our work in this area on an ongoing basis.
