The Supreme Court Ruling: Faculty of Brain Sciences Reflection

By b.isibor, on 29 May 2025

The UK Supreme Court recently made a decision in the case For Women Scotland (Ltd) v The Scottish Ministers, stating that under the Equality Act 2010, “sex” should be interpreted strictly as “biological sex.” This decision has generated widespread concern among trans and gender-non-conforming people and their allies.   

We know this news may be especially upsetting or unsettling for our trans and gender non-conforming students and staff at UCL’s Faculty of Brain Sciences, and that it comes at a time when the legal and political space already feels increasingly difficult for many in the LGBTQ+ community. 

At the Faculty of Brain Sciences, we want to be clear: While the practical implications of the Supreme Court’s decision are still uncertain, they do not change our values and mission. We remain committed to creating an environment where everyone feels seen, respected and safe, regardless of their identity. 

One of our key EDI pillars is to champion a culture of belonging and inclusion for everyone. That includes speaking up when people in our community may be feeling unsure, excluded or at risk.  

As the Faculty of Brain Sciences EDI Leads for Gender and LGBTQ+ Equity, we have a joint and fully shared commitment to supporting our trans and gender non-conforming students and colleagues in this time of uncertainty. We will speak up for you, and with you. If you have been affected by the Supreme Court decision and would like to discuss it, online or in person, please feel free to reach out to us by email (sam.gilbert@ucl.ac.uk and c.mcgettigan@ucl.ac.uk) or on Teams. There are also a range of support services available to all staff and students at UCL – please see below. 

Best wishes 

Sam Gilbert (he/him; Gender Equity Lead, Faculty of Brain Sciences) 

Carolyn McGettigan (they/them; LGBTQ+ Equity Lead, Faculty of Brain Sciences)

Event: Conducting Inclusive Research and Recruitment

By b.isibor, on 29 April 2025

The Centre for Equality Research in Brain Sciences recently hosted a day-long hybrid event focusing on the crucial topic of inclusive research and participant recruitment. This event brought together a diverse range of speakers, including researchers, community leaders, and UCL Ethics representatives, to share insights on how to effectively engage underrepresented groups in research, ensuring that studies include the populations they aim to serve.

The event kicked off with Natalie Marchant, Chair Research Culture Community Steering Group and ERB Centre’s Research Interest Group Co-lead. welcoming participants, followed by an opening address from Emma Todd, the Director of Research Culture. Both emphasised the importance of fostering an inclusive research environment that values diversity at every stage, from study design to participant engagement. 

The first session, titled “How to Set up Your Study to be Inclusive,” was chaired by Carolyn McGettigan, LGBTQ+ Equity Lead for EDI at the Faculty of Brain Sciences (FBS). Speakers Talia Isaacs and Rachel Knowles discussed strategies for designing research that considers the needs of historically underrepresented groups. They covered practical tips for inclusive recruitment, how to minimize barriers to participation, and the significance of embedding diversity in the research process from the start. 

Following this, UCL Ethics representatives led a Q&A session, where they addressed ethical considerations in inclusive research, giving participants an opportunity to ask specific questions about conducting research with diverse populations. 

The highlight of the morning was a keynote speech by Dr. Keerti Gedela, a Consultant Physician and global health researcher, who spoke about health equity and the need for research to prioritize underserved communities. Her talk highlighted the intersection of clinical, social, and cultural factors in health research, urging attendees to consider how their studies could be more inclusive and impactful across diverse settings. 

Participant Inclusion Flash Talks, chaired by Courtenay Norbury, Vice Dean for Research at FBS. Researchers Roxanne Crosby-Nwaobi, Charlie Beeson, Dwaynica Greaves, and Shayma Izzidien shared their experiences working with various communities to ensure inclusivity in their studies. Their talks highlighted both the challenges and the innovative strategies they’ve employed to recruit and retain participants from historically underrepresented groups, whether in clinical trials, social care research, or mental health studies. 

The following session, titled “Community Engaged Research,” was chaired by Indy Sira, Director of Voices of Colour. Lizzie Stimson, Awale Elmi, and Sonja Scantlebury-Camara discussed the importance of community partnerships in research. They shared real-world examples of how working closely with communities can not only improve the recruitment of participants but also make research more relevant and impactful for those communities. Co-producing research and ensuring that the voices of underrepresented groups are heard throughout the process was a key topic during this panel discussion.

The final session, “Working with Different Communities,” was chaired by Hugo Spiers, Vice Dean for Innovation & Enterprise at FBS. Speakers Pablo Fernandez Velasco, Maria Ahmad, and Kirsty Wallis offered their perspectives on the intersection of interdisciplinary research and community engagement. They discussed how collaboration between researchers, communities, and organisations can lead to more inclusive, meaningful research outcomes. Their talks focused on the importance of cultural sensitivity, ethical considerations, and the role of research in addressing systemic inequalities. 

The event concluded with closing remarks from Katerina Fotopoulou, Director of the ERB Centre, who reflected on the talks and discussions by reiterating the importance of embedding inclusivity in all aspects of research. She highlighted how the day’s conversations have reinforced the collective responsibility to make research accessible and meaningful for everyone. 

Well done to Natalie Marchant, Hugo Spiers and Maryam Gurwara for organising such an incredible and engaging event!

From Vision to Action: Progressing EDI at UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences

By b.isibor, on 18 February 2025

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is central to the UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences (FBS), shaping our professional, research, and cultural engagements with staff and students. Over the past five years, we have strengthened our governance and aligned with the Higher Education equality charter framework, Athena Swan, to progress gender equality.

Where We Started

In 2019, the foundational structure for EDI within the Faculty was not clearly defined. While there were individual efforts to advance EDI initiatives, resources were limited. Beyond Athena Swan, there was little governance established for EDI activity to be implemented.

Taking Action

To drive and implement change, the FBS focused on strengthening leadership and creating structured support. This included the appointment of a Vice-Dean for EDI (Professor Anna Cox, 2019-2024) and adding two full-time EDI staff members to support the Faculty’s efforts. In addition to the permanent EDI positions, roles such Faculty Equity Leads and Directors of EDI were established, each with clear job descriptions. The Faculty Equity Leads focus on representing and progress of particular protected characteristics interests which includes leading sub-committees, while the Directors of EDI demonstrate local leadership that contributes to overall faculty progress in EDI.

The Impact

So far, the governance structure has significantly enhanced the Faculty’s engagement and commitment to EDI. Key achievements include:

• All departments have achieved Athena Swan awards (5 Silver and 1 Bronze).
• Conduct biennial Faculty staff survey to collect Athena Swan data across all departments, enabling benchmarking and staff engagement to identify ways to improve the staff experience.
• Celebrating our EDI initiatives by recognising volunteers who contribute at a Faculty EDI celebration event.
• We reduced the BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) awarding gap from 14% in 2021-22 to 4% in 2022-23.
• Addressing the inequities in research by establishing the Equality Research Centre in Brain Sciences, a network of interdisciplinary researchers aiming at foster understanding and solutions to equality challenges in science and beyond.
• We actively communicate our EDI activities by publishing regular blogs and hosting a podcast series entitled “EDI Chronicles at Brain Sciences.”.
• Tackling and preventing toxic working and research culture by developing and delivering training addressing bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct.

To round up, while the FBS structure ultimately proved effective to produce such achievements, EDI cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach, as various factors such as structures, priorities, and resources influence how EDI is implemented. Embedding EDI is a continuous journey that requires intentionality and a commitment from both leadership and grassroot.

Introducing Prof Leslie Gutman, the New Vice Dean (EDI)!

By b.isibor, on 28 October 2024

I am grateful to have been the Faculty Lead of the BAME Awarding Gap Project when the FBS awarding gap reduced from 14.6% to .5%.

My overarching vision is that our students and staff are equally valued, included, recognised, awarded, promoted and supported.

I enjoy meeting with others who are enthusiastic about EDI in our faculty (there are many!) and we are working together to share good practices throughout FBS. Avili Feese, the FBS EDI manager, is the co-founder of the UCL EDI Community of Practice, which can help us to share and utilise good practices more widely across UCL. I’m looking forward to attending the CoP Welcome Event on 6 November, and would like to encourage others to join too!

Over the next two years, we plan to actively beacon our existing EDI work, engaging with colleagues both within and beyond the faculty to enhance collaboration. Additionally, we will prioritise reducing inequalities for students by understanding and addressing awarding gaps for postgraduate taught students, which is an area that we have not previously examined in FBS, and involving students in the co-production of FBS EDI initiatives. Beyond that, we would like to identify ways to support women and staff from ethnically minoritised backgrounds for promotion.

I would magically create an office space that connects all of the FBS, with natural light, fresh air, plants, meeting/group areas, access to outdoor space and free coffee/tea!

Chicken soup with kneidel, roast chicken and roast potatoes, followed by hot chocolate cake.

I’m from Texas and I grew up going to beautiful Mexico on holiday.  I’d love to go back now as an adult with my husband and family.

It always seems to surprise people that I have 5 children (probably because the work/life balance in academia is challenging) — three of which are young teens and two who are young adults.  I also have a three year old grandson, who is my little treasure.

Improving staff equality monitoring information in the Faculty of Brain Sciences

By b.isibor, on 30 September 2024

As many of you may be aware, you can now review and update your equality monitoring information using Inside UCL, the staff app. Equality monitoring information includes data on protected characteristics such as disability status, sexual orientation, ethnic identity and other characteristics.

The Faculty of Brain Sciences is committed to providing equal and equitable opportunities for staff. Monitoring data is necessary to make our equality vision a reality and ensure that all colleagues have the same access to training, promotion, and other opportunities.

Equality monitoring helps us:

· Better understand the faculty profile and help us take targeted action to support and respond to staff needs

· Promote awareness of the diversity of faculty

· Investigate trends or patterns of potential disadvantage or discrimination

· Inform decision-making and make relevant improvements

Equality monitoring also helps UCL comply with the Equality Act 2010 in being responsible for protecting members of staff from discrimination and harassment at work.

Below are the ‘unknown’ disclosure rates across 5 characteristics in each institute/division:

Ethnicity Gender identity Disability Religion Sexual orientation

We’d like to encourage all of you to log into the app and check and update your information (you can find this under the ‘My details’ tile) – the process only takes a few minutes and contributes towards creating positive change. You can select ‘prefer not to say’ if you wish.

It is also important to note that your identity characteristics can change over your time at UCL, so please do ensure your information is up to date over time. If you’d like to know more about how this data is used by UCL, the explanatory article on Staff News and the FAQs on the EDI website have more information.
