Political Science Departmental Networks

We currently have three active network groups, theÌýEthnic and Racial Diversity (ERD) Network, the Gender and Sexuality Diversity Network (GSDN) and theÌýDisabilityÌýNeurodiversity and Wellbeing Network. These provide support to our students and staff, as well as leading on initiatives to improve equality, diversity and inclusion within our department.ÌýAll students and staff are welcome to join any and all of these.
