Faculty of Arts and Humanities Achieves Athena Swan Bronze Award
The Athena Swan Charter is a global framework aimed at promoting gender equality in higher education and research. The Athena Swan awards—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—honor institutions and departments for their achievements in advancing gender equality. Participation spans all of Ireland’s universities, institutes of technology, and several colleges.
Our Faculty's Achievement
In 2021, Maynooth University’s Faculty of Arts and Humanities (formerly the Faculty of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy) was awarded the Athena Swan Bronze Award. This recognition highlights the initial steps taken by the Faculty toward gender equality and diversity, while also committing to ongoing actions that aim to foster a more inclusive and equal community.
Since receiving the Bronze Award, the Faculty has been actively working to implement the Athena Swan principles and further progress its efforts toward gender equality.
