Dr Vicky Gunn, Glasgow University, joined our EDDG meeting in May for an interesting and stimulating debate on equality and diversity issues in the post school curriculum. During the session, Vicky highlighted the Single Equality Duty, the 6 equality strands, multiple identities, student resilience, confidence, self esteem and several other issues encroaching on a college campus culture. Vicky discussed some of her own and other recent research into LGBTQ issues. Due to Government legislation in the 80's and 90's, there is a large and noticeable gap in research in this area in Britain. Opportunities still exist for more research at college level to measure the climate of tolerence/intolerance in student campus life.
