About the Academia Community
Academia@Workplace Pride drives LGBTIQ+ inclusion across universities and research institutes. You support staff, faculty, and students so they can be themselves and reach their full potential.
Students matter most.
If you shape an inclusive mindset during their studies, they enter the workforce ready to lead with awareness and respect.
Our Mission
- To contribute to academic and research workplaces in which all staff, students and faculty members belong and can be themselves.
- To acknowledge that Academic and Research organisations work differently than other organisations. Leverage this unique starting point to bring us together.
- Academia@WP contributes to the knowledge generation and dissemination, in coordination with the work of the WP Chair, Jojanneke van der Toorn.
Why It Matters
-
Universities shape the next generation of leaders
-
Research influences policy, culture, and workplace standards
-
Students carry inclusive values into every sector
If you change academia, you change the workforce.
The question is simple:
What kind of leaders do you want entering the world tomorrow?
The Rainbow Brief
The Rainbow Brief bridges academic research and real-world workplace practice. It translates peer-reviewed studies into clear insights you can apply inside your organisation. Each edition explores one focused topic related to LGBTIQ+ inclusion at work — from SOGI data collection and psychological safety to leadership, bias, identity, and organisational culture.
You face complex questions:
- How do you collect SOGI data responsibly?
- What makes employees feel safe to be out at work?
- How do identity and power shape workplace dynamics?
- How do you sustain inclusion when external pressure increases?
The Rainbow Brief gives you evidence-based answers.
Not theory for theory’s sake.
Research you can use.
