The aim of ‘Securing Inclusion’ is to promote inclusion and diversity in the field of security studies; one of the least inclusive and diverse fields in the study of international politics. It aims at supporting higher education staff and students at dismantling the explicit and implicit intersectional barriers linked to gender, ethnicity and religion, which translate into monolithic and outdated teaching and learning environments in the field of security studies.

‘Securing Inclusion’ will offer a suite of teaching and learning activities which will embed diversity and inclusion within security studies university curricula, whilst enhancing the institutional capacity of the partners to continue the efforts towards greater inclusivity after project completion and, most importantly, create spillover dynamics that can impact other fields.

Alongside the horizontal priority of fostering inclusion and diversity, the project addresses a set of sectoral priorities, namely building inclusive higher education systems and supporting digital and green capabilities in higher education.
