Session Description: Making Sense of Allyship – 11th October 1-4.30 pm, Zoom
An allyship culture actively values, celebrates and promotes the full spectrum of its current and future stakeholders. This half-day session is designed to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of allyship in organisations and different academic relationships. It will involve a mixture of activities for interactive engagement and levels of accessibility and understanding. This session will bring together the group’s collective expertise and experiences to catalyse further self-reflection, development, and making informed, affirmative actions.
This initial training will be followed up with development sessions focused on offering ongoing support to CDA supervisors spread across the academic year.
Although we recognise the initial training date may not work for everyone, we strongly recommend you attend if possible.

Here is a quote from one of last year’s attendees: ‘I attended the allyship training with Lou Chiu today and quite frankly it was some of the best training I have ever received. Sophisticated, clear and complex work. Quite simply very very good indeed.’
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the sessions.
