Supporting Athena SWAN and Juno
Sean McWhinnie and Caroline Fox lead the Oxford Research and Policy team which works on good practice and women’s career progression in universities.
Oxford Research & Policy offers advice and support on the development of strategies and the delivery of good working practices in universities, university departments and research institutes.
Oxford Research & Policy provides critiques of university and department good practice action plans, and Athena SWAN and Juno applications. Oxford Research and Policy works alongside self assessment teams and good practice champions, and advises on what works well elsewhere. Oxford Research & Policy supports and helps nurture the development of working practices and the key processes, which lead to change in the workplace culture.
Good working practice benefits all staff but research has demonstrated that bad working practices adversely affect women more than men. There is a relationship between good practice and good science, individuals in “good practice” departments can contribute more. Departments with good working practices have fewer management problems.
