EDI Working Group

Survey on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) practice in architectural education

​

Content and aims:

​

This survey has been developed by the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Working Group of the Standing Conference Of Schools of Architecture (SCOSA). Its main purpose is to support SCOSA in providing guidance to architectural schools on EDI matters.

​

More specifically, this survey aims to:

​

  • compare how architectural schools and courses across the UK are dealing with EDI matters;

  • identify recurrent difficulties or obstacles in the implementation of EDI policy or initiatives, and instigate debate around potential solutions;

  • canvass examples of good practice that could be shared with colleagues.

 

SCOSA will illustrate and disseminate the results of this study through a report. You will decide the extent to which the data you provide will be anonymised by SCOSA in its report. Depending on your preference, SCOSA will anonymise all of your responses or only part of them.

​

All questions are optional and you can choose to stop participating in the survey at any time.
