Gender and Inclusion

Back

The Gender and Inclusion SIG will be reformed in 2021-22. It will aim to address the growing gender divide in art and design. Specifically in 2017-18, it was able to identify ad evidence trends for both participation and achievement. Findings have been published in two gender and inclusion AD magazines.

The objectives of this SIG are:

To published evidenced-based data to identify any trends that indicate there is a participation and attainment gender divide in art and design.
To publish a gender and inclusion themed AD magazine which has: Evidenced-based data that can be shared and sourced; examples of gender inclusive best practice in art & design.

This SIG was initially led by Sophie Leach (deputy general secretary). Members of NSEAD Forum and Council helped to source and scrutinise data. This includes a former president Susan Coles and vice-president Patricia Brown.
