Equitable collaboration and partnership checklist

Equitability between partners is the foundation for any successful collaboration but can be particularly hard to build and maintain when there is a power imbalance. This checklist is intended to support staff to consider equitability in building effective and sustainable collaborations.

The checklist is available to all members of the University via login through Raven.

Check out the Equitable Collaboration and Partnerships Checklist.
