We advance gender equity by promoting women in leadership and furthering women’s education.

In 1881 we became one of the first universities in the world to admit female students. By 1990 — just over a century after the first woman graduated — women students outnumbered men for the first time in our history, with 15,000 women enrolled in a student body of 26,000. Women now make up well over half of our staff community – 57 percent in a total of 7500 staff (based on 2017 statistics).

These stories highlight our rich history – built on a foundation of inclusion – and our commitment to opening the doors to everyone to flourish in their educational pursuits.

As part of the University’s aim to promote gender equity in education we have gained the Bronze Award in the Athena SWAN accreditation, as part of our commitment to the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) initiative.

The SAGE program promotes gender equity and diversity in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM).

A pilot of the successful UK-based Athena SWAN program established in 2005, the Australian program is a partnership between the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering.

It assesses gender equality policies and practices, and helps organisations establish ways to promote and retain women and gender minorities in their ranks.

The program achieves its goals through an evaluation and accreditation framework carried out by dedicated members of the University’s Self Assessment Team (link below) and the SAGE Project Office who are responsible for:

collecting, analysing and interrogating gender data across STEMM faculties at our University
developing our action plans to address identified issues.

The Self Assessment Team prepared the application for the SAGE/Athena SWAN Institutional Bronze Award.

Professor Renae Ryan from Sydney Medical School (Pharmacology) is the Academic Director of SAGE, and Co-Chair of the Self-Assessment Team with Associate Professor Tony Masters, Chair of the University's Academic Board.

The Vice-Chancellor, Dr Michael Spence, is the Executive Sponsor of SAGE, and the program forms part of our 2016-20 Strategic Plan.

Women share their experiences of playing leadership roles in male-dominated fields.

Female staff, students and alumna recently gathered to participate in an open discussion on the state of play for women in the workplace. Together they discussed fluctuations in female participation over time, the obvious retention problem and the societal changes needed, particularly in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM).

The group also gave honest accounts of work and study and offered advice on finding the right career, the importance of mentoring and what makes a good leader.

泡泡影院 — Dr Jacqueline Thomas is a humanitarian engineer from the School of Civil Engineering. Her applied research aims to improve sanitation and water in Africa and the Pacific. “As a woman in engineering, I have been most surprised by how varied workplaces can be with respect to inclusion of minorities. The best workplaces are those where people are focused on a common goal and you don’t even realise you are a minority. Your points of difference are acknowledged and even championed.”

刘梓晨视频 — Professor Renae Ryan is a biochemical pharmacologist from the School of Medical Sciences. She is also the Academic Director of the University of Sydney Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) program (see below). “Tackling issues of equity and diversity are difficult. They challenge our understanding of the system and our place in it – and that makes us feel uncomfortable and, at times, threatened. But we need to feel uncomfortable – and to honestly reflect on these issue – if we are to achieve real change.”

131高清视频 — Annie Handmer is a postgraduate research student from the Faculty of Science. She is completing a Master of Philosophy by research on international cooperation in space, the challenges of space debris and militarisation. “We should be encouraging everyone in Australia to be as widely educated as possible, because, as my Year 9 science teacher used to say, ‘Science doesn’t happen in a vacuum!’.”

美女热吻 — Dr Clara Chow is a cardiologist at Westmead Hospital and Professor of Medicine at the University of Sydney. She is the Academic Director of the Westmead Applied Research Centre. “I am continually surprised at the breadth of opportunity I have had to work with others throughout my career in STEMM. As both a clinician and researcher, I have worked with not only those in the medical profession but also engineers, statisticians, software developers, lawyers, psychologists and researchers from all disciplines.”

失乐园qvod — Dharmica Mistry is a Bachelor of Science graduate from the University of Sydney. She is now a Senior Scientist at BCAL Diagnostics, a research organisation developing a simple blood test to detect breast cancer earlier and more accurately. “I think we undervalue the importance of networking, within academia and also in industry. Make sure you run in both circles, you never know who you’ll meet and how it will impact your journey.”

甜蜜再恋第一部 — Shumi Ruan is a third-year Economics/Law student, who will commence honours in 2019. She and her colleagues also recently created the inaugural Women in Economics and Business Society. “I was confronted to find out that in the School of Economics girls drop out of the course at almost double the rate of their male colleagues in the first two years.”

致命室友 — Professor Leanne Togher is a speech pathologist who specialises in communication disorders following acquired brain injury. “The wonderful thing about being a clinical researcher is that my career has enabled me the flexibility to be available to my family, rather than impeding this process.”

The SAGE Self-Assessment Team (SAT) is responsible for the submission of the University’s Bronze Award Application and meets bi-monthly. The SAT is Co-Chaired by Professor Trevor Hambley and Professor Renae Ryan, who is also the Academic Director for SAGE. The SAT includes academic staff from all STEMM Faculties and members of professional staff from HR and MarComms.

遂宁美欣欣贸易有限公司

The SAT have formed working groups in four key areas:

Data
Career Progression
Organisation and Culture
Communications.

Each SAT member is part of a working group who, together with other targeted members of staff, meet regularly to gather and analyse the University’s data and develop a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timebound) Action Plan to create the Bronze Award Application.

Working groups have each been given responsibility for areas of focus from the Bronze Application.

The Panel Pledge is an initiative to help improve gender diversity on discussion panels, discussion forums and other external events.

The pledge was introduced as part of the broader commitment to gender diversity and equity. Adapted from the national Male Champions of Change initiative, it is supported by the University’s Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) program (see above) and consistent with our strategic aspiration to foster a culture that is built on our values.

Everyone at the University is encouraged to sign the pledge and it is especially relevant for those people whose role involves planning, sponsoring or speaking at a discussion panel, forum or other external event.

Since it was launched in October 2018, more than 250 University staff have signed the pledge and that number continues to steadily grow.

吐鲁番晶全百有限公司

超级大坏蛋粤语 — Belinda Hutchinson, Chancellor: “Improving the levels of representation of women in public speaking roles is an action that can contribute to cultural change, and signing and enacting the Panel Pledge is a very simple but practical way to do that.”

萧敬腾绿箭广告歌曲 — Dr Michael Spence, Vice-Chancellor and Principal: "I'll be using the actions of the pledge myself to improve the levels of representation of women in University and public forums."

谁家府上泛轻舟小说 — Professor Robyn Ward, Executive Dean, Faculty of Medicine and Health: "Be courageous – if you find yourself at a male-only conference/event – leave."

乱世三义电视剧在线观看 — Professor Stephen Simpson, Academic Director, Charles Perkins Centre: "A diversity of gender in forums gives a clear message about the value given to men and women scientists."

元媛舞会 — Professor Ben Eggleton, Director, University of Sydney Nano Institute: “I’m already using the principles of the pledge. It’s a good dashboard for a consistent and coherent approach to supporting gender diversity.”

夺命深渊qvod — Professor Jane Latimer, Deputy Director, Institute for Musculoskeletal Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health: “You get the best discussions at conferences when you have a diversity of voices. It is so important for raising the visibility of women."

乡村爱情也摇头 — Professor Lisa Jackson-Pulver, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Strategy and Services): “Supporting the Panel Pledge is important to the integrity of all of us. It makes this place better for all.”

滚石30年上海演唱会 — Professor Jacqui Ramagge, Head of School, School of Mathematics and Statistics: “I recently turned down the opportunity to attend two major conferences in order to speak at a small conference designed for young women in one of my research areas.”

海贼王强者世界 — Professor Nalini Joshi, Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow, Chair of Applied Mathematics: “Using the Panel Pledge is common sense, part of my leadership role, and I’ve seen that it works.”

榆林荣和国贸易有限公司

The Panel Pledge wording is as follows.

I commit to:

ensuring that all forums that I am involved in at the University and more broadly take gender diversity into account so that equity of voice is achieved.
ensuring that all forums sponsored by University take gender diversity into account
when speaking at an event, I will enquire about composition of the panellists/speakers and how the organisers are working towards gender diversity
- and reserve the right to withdraw from the event should gender diversity not be met.
When speaking at an event where gender diversity has not been achieved, I will recognise this in my remarks where relevant:
- mention that I requested improved gender diversity in the speakers
- highlight relevant female leaders in my field and potential speakers in my presentation.

If you are a member of the University community and interested in signing the Panel Pledge, please contact us.

Our Women’s Career Acceleration and Leadership Strategy is designed to accelerate representation of women at all levels at the University and address several key areas:

developing the capability of our leaders to lead inclusively
setting female representation targets, and implementing and building strategies at local levels
providing career support and flexible career pathways
investigating pay equity
consistently implementing and managing flexible working arrangements.

We also hold an annual symposium – Women at Sydney: share, connect, change. Each year the symposium agenda includes inspiring talks, panel discussions and thought-provoking content presented by leaders from across the University to showcase, support and empower career success for women.

Throughout the year we will share the stories of inspirational women leaders from across the University.
