Allyship at Edinburgh

This course will help you explore what it means to be an effective ally at Edinburgh and shows you how allies can help tackle things like micro-aggressions, bullying, harassment and other inappropriate behaviour, and help to the University more equitable and inclusive.

An ally is an individual who is not a member of a particular under-represented group themselves, but who uses their power, voice and privilege to support that group. 

Being an ally is an active and ongoing process, and action can be taken at all levels, such as challenging in the moment to supporting individuals who are on the receiving end of micro-incivilities and providing feedback to perpetrators of inappropriate behaviour.
