University College London (UCL)
As Vice Dean of EDI at UCL, Rob's seminar focused on the successful implementation of EDI initiatives, as the Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology (LMCB) is one of the few institutes to have attained Athena Swan Gold, we welcomed the opportunity to hear Rob’s practical advice about how to embed our own culture of change.
In Rob's talk he covered the Wheel of Power/Privilege, which can help us get a more intricate visualisation of the term “marginalization" the further you are from power, the more ignored and unimportant you feel. However, as you try to place yourself in the different categories, notice how your level of power/marginalization shifts between categories.
