Inclusive Alliance Network (IAN)
IAN is an ally network, created to work with UoM's disabled staff network (DSN). The ISA is open to supervisors, line managers, and any other staff that supports disabled staff or PGRs, with an aim of providing a safe space where people can chat peer to peer, share advice, and get guidance.
In addition, the Challenging Research Disabled PGR Group is a peer support group for disabled PGRs across all faculties at UoM. Their focus is providing a safe and supportive space for PGRs to socialise mask off and get advice on any issues you may be facing. They also do a lot of advocacy work, including regular Zoom focus groups with UoM senior leadership to address any issues, run workshops for staff on the lived experience of disabled PGRs, and work to make institutional change across UoM.
If you’d like to join email laura.howard-3@manchester.ac.uk or join their WhatsApp.
