The association between diversity and leadership is synergistic because diversity promotes change as an emerging agent in the structuring of higher education, while leadership promotes practices that identify diversity as a nested context for achieving balance in the social relations between higher education and society. National Business Education Accreditation Council (NBEAC) is therefore supporting initiatives aimed at developing gender and diversity leadership in higher education. In a pioneer effort, NBEAC-Training and Development Wing successfully organized a workshop on “Developing gender and diversity leadership in higher education” on 30th -31st January 2020 in University of Lahore, Lahore. The objective of this two-day workshop was to develop an understanding of issues related to gender and diversity in higher education institutions and to enable reflections for a way forward.
The intended learning outcomes of the workshop were creation of critical understanding of stereotypes and unconscious bias on the basis of gender and other dimensions of diversity; developing sensitivity and awareness about issues of diversity and identifying differences in higher education; and identifying a possible way forward.
Detailed discussions and exercises were carried out on theoretical understanding of gender equality and diversity at workplaces and the context of the state of gender in Pakistan and higher education. Discussions were also carried out regarding issues of gender and diversity in practice; gender and careers; sexual harassment and Higher Education; diversity and backlash in the classroom; diversity leadership and best practices in HE. The workshop was concluded with participants’ presentation on addressing gender and diversity related issues in HE.
The consultants for this workshop were Dr. Jawad Syed (Professor, Suleman Dawood School of Business, LUMS) and Dr. Faiza Ali (Associate Professor, Suleman Dawood School of Business, LUMS). The workshop was attended by 25 participants representing different business schools from all over Pakistan having a proper mix of public and private institutes.
