The Anthropology Department was awarded a Silver Athena Swan Award in 2025, in recognition of our work to promote gender equality. Unusually in the UK, we have approximately equal numbers of staff identifying as male and female and we have a high proportion of women promoted to professorial level . We are also proud of the energy and commitment of our staff in working at the university level to promote equality via the Durham University’s Networks.
Our current Athena Swan Self-Assessment Team is led by Dr Elisabeth Kirtsoglou and our current Athena Swan work is based on our Department EDI Action Plan.
