School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Athena SWAN Athena SWAN Bronze Department award renewal application Name of institution: Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) Department: School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Date of application: 29 April 2016 Athena SWAN process: pre-May 2015 Date of university Bronze and/or Silver SWAN award: 2008 (Renewed most recently in 2014) Date of department Bronze award: 2012 Level of award applied for: Bronze Contact for application: Elaine Chew Email: [email protected] Telephone: 0 20 7882 5813 Departmental website address: www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk Please note: This application follows major leadership changes in both EECS and QMUL. As a result of the turnover in senior management, the ECU granted us a one-year eXtension for this Bronze renewal application. Athena SWAN Bronze Department award renewals recognise that in addition to university-wide policies the department has made progress in promoting gender equality and addressing challenges particular to the discipline. It is expected that after three years Athena SWAN Bronze Department award holders should be at the stage to make a new application for a Silver Department award. However, in exceptional circumstances a Bronze Department renewal award submission can be made.

Page 3 / 49 Queen Mary University of London Mile End Road, London E1 4NS Tel: 020 7882 5555 Prof. Geraint A. Wiggins School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Sarah Dickinson Direct Tel: 020 7882 5200 Head of Equality Charters Fax: 020 7882 7064 Website: www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk Equality Challenge Unit, 7th Floor Queens House 55/56 Lincoln’s Inn Fields London WC2A 3LI 15 April 2016 Dear Sarah, The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Queen Mary University of London is proud to be part of the Athena SWAN campaign, and fully endorses its Charter. An academic department is a social enterprise, and EECS is like any other in this respect. The consequence for such an enterprise in which half of the population is systematically underrepresented it is losing the talent of a large proportion of the population. This is a state of affairs that requires change. Since our 2012 Bronze award, EECS has encouraged women to join our organisation at all levels, and to put in place actions to support and retain them. We have found that the vast majority of changes that improve prospects for women also improve prospects for men. We are working to improve involvement of women at all levels of electronic engineering and computer science, from high school (which we can influence via indirect means) through to professor. In doing so, I have been heartened to learn of the keenness of my male colleagues to help put the imbalance right. The results of everyone’s efforts are laid out in this submission. Our young people’s outreach activities, which include the nationally recognised CS4FN (CS for Fun) magazine (cs4fn.org), are carefully aimed at both genders, with regular emphasis on the importance of women in the history of EE and CS. We recently renamed our meeting rooms, used by students, after prominent women contributors, and commemorative plaques are being made. These are examples of how we provide role models for the female scientists of tomorrow: this is where change is most directly achieved. Patron: Her Majesty the Queen Letter of Endorsement: Page 1 of 2 Incorporated by Royal Charter as Queen Mary & Westfield College, University of London Historically, EECS has been successful in recruiting a higher percentage of female undergraduate students (21%) than the national average (15%), and we want to increase it even further. We specifically aim to make our recruitment events friendly to all genders, and we are actively seeking ways to be more attractive to potential female applicants. At postgraduate level, EECS has three organisations promoting female involvement, G.Hack (Girls who Hack, ghack.eecs.qmul.ac.uk), IEEE WIE (Women in Engineering, ieeesb.elec.qmul.ac.uk/category/wie-news), and WISE@QMUL (Women in Science and Engineering, wiseqml.wordpress.com). We actively support all students, undergraduate and postgraduate, who organise networking and training activities for all genders. An innovation of which I am proud to have personally set in place is our systematic proactive encouragement for junior academics to apply for promotion—now a formal element in our annual cycle. Since it is well known that women are less likely to apply for early promotion, I believe that, over time, such proactivity will afford substantially fairer rewards. EECS’ Athena SWAN activities have achieved much since 2012 but there is still a long way to go. Our action plan charts a course that, as Head of School, I will ensure we follow with enthusiasm and commitment. I endorse the plan in full. I confirm that the information presented in this application is an honest, accurate and true representation of the department. Yours sincerely, Geraint A. Wiggins Professor of Computational Creativity & Head of School 500 words (main text) Letter of Endorsement: Page 2 of 2 2.

  • 1 'Women Students at UCL in the Early 1880S' Charlotte Mitchell This
    ‘Women students at UCL in the early 1880s’ Charlotte Mitchell This paper was a discussion of a sample of about 175 women students who all attended lectures given by Henry Morley, professor of English Language and Literature at UCL, during the academic years 1881/2, 1882/3 and 1883/4. The records of former students at UCL are not very accessible, and they have not been much studied. Though many schools and universities have compiled and often even published lists of previous students, UCL has no overall list of those who registered, although a MS list exists for the period 1828-1868 and a file of index cards covering approximately the period 1900-1950 (which includes some earlier students). For the period 1868-1900 we fall back on the MS Annual Fee Books and the annual volumes of the University of London Calendar. By diligently searching these sources it is possible to discover the bare names and addresses of those who registered at the college in any particular year. However, recent developments in technology, especially the digitization of the census returns, have made it possible to assemble information on residents of Victorian England much more easily than was possible even a few years ago. It proved possible to compile mini-biographies of almost all of the women who registered for Morley’s English classes in these years, and before long I had a database of 30,000 words of intriguingly miscellaneous data. My paper was an attempt to answer the questions: who were these women, what were they doing at UCL, and what became of them afterwards? One early problem was defining a group to study.
