LJMU Women Academics Network

Supporting Women to Thrive and Progress in Academia The Women Academics Network (WAN) at Liverpool John Moores University is a supportive and inclusive community for all women academics. Established in 2017, WAN is here to help women thrive, pursue meaningful work, and achieve their aspirations—whether that’s finding balance, making a difference, or advancing in their academic careers. What We Stand For WAN is dedicated to fostering a culture where women in academia are empowered to flourish and succeed. We actively address gender disparities, working to remove barriers so that all women can access the opportunities, resources, and support they need. Whether you want to progress to the next stage of your career or simply feel more connected, WAN is here for you. How We Support You We provide a space to connect, collaborate, and grow through regular meetings, bespoke events, and ongoing projects. WAN offers peer support and practical advice, as well as a platform to advocate for gender equity across the University and beyond. Together, we create opportunities for personal and professional development while amplifying the voices of women in academia. Why WAN? We believe all women in academia should have the chance to thrive on their own terms, and we’re committed to creating an environment where this is possible. WAN supports those who wish to progress in their careers while celebrating the diverse and meaningful contributions women bring to higher education. Join Us Whether you’re navigating challenges, seeking support to grow, or looking to connect with like-minded colleagues, WAN is here for you. Together, we’re building a community where women in academia can flourish, progress, and lead change. #WomenInAcademia #GenderEquity #ThriveAndFlourish #ProgressAndInclusion
