What is BRIDgE?
The Base for Research in Inclusion, Diversity & Equality (BRIDgE) at BGU is an integral element of the university’s profile. The base brings together some of the outstanding range of diversity research that BGU has to offer and showcases some of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives taking place at the university.
The academics who lead on BRIDgE present richness of expertise integrated into and at the heart of their fields, combining lived experience and research interests spanning wide areas of diversity for example: sex, gender, race, disability, and sexual orientation.
