The Young Academy Leiden (YAL) is excited to launch the Social Safety Open Dialogue Sessions in collaboration with Human Resources (HR). These sessions aim to create a space where everyone's voice matters. We want to turn discussions into tangible actions, ensuring that the community's collective experiences directly feed back to university policy. In this way, we aim to improve social safety in academia together, step by step. Our second session is centered around the theme of 'Power Relations and Dynamics' and will be held on Tuesday 24 September.
The aim is to address the gap that sometimes exists between the intended goals of policies and their actual impact in practice. We will explore and address the complexities of power relations and dynamics within our academic community, and gather input for actionable steps. Prof. dr. Sarah de Rijcke, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, will host the event.
Agenda
- Opening remarks followed by a conversation with the participants, led by Prof. dr. Sarah de Rijcke, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
- Human Resources will provide an overview of how the input collected during the previous session has been utilized. They will share steps that have been initiated in response to your valuable contributions as well as existing initiatives.
- Dialogues focused on exploring the theme of 'Power Relations and Dynamics' through small group interactions.
During this session, we will gather your input to further refine policies and practices. At a subsequent dialogue session Human Resources will present this input, and share actions taken.
Please Note
- While these sessions are hosted at different faculties, they are open to all university staff, regardless of their faculty affiliation.
- If you missed the first session, please feel free to join us.
- We encourage you to bring a colleague who can contribute to our discussions.
Refreshments will be provided.
