Transforming Charles University into a Caring Institution: The Impact of EDI in a Post-Socialist Context
Original language description
The chapter "Transforming Charles University into a Caring Institution: The Impact of EDI in a Post-Socialist Context" examines how Charles University has begun to embed equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) into its institutional culture, with care as a central value. Explaining the context of post-socialist East Central Europe, the chapter traces key developments such as the adoption of the Equal Opportunities Plan, the creation of the Equal Opportunities Board, the establishment of a university-wide ombudsperson, and implementation of a survey on caregivers' needs. The authors show how EDI, supported by EU-level frameworks, student initiatives and new university leadership, has become the driver of institutional change, and how care, both as a value and a practice, has played a key role in this transformation towards social justice in academia and discuss how such changes reflect and resonate within the post-socialist context of East Central Europe.
