- contribute to publications and other project outputs, including a book, journal articles, professional publications, events and an exhibition;

- understand the incorporation into University life of the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action; and ability to work positively with staff, students and stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds.
