- 13 June 2022 - Diverted lives: the impact of implicit biases on equality and life courses
Implicit biases are unconscious expectations or stereotypes that affect our perception, judgement and behaviour. Among other things, they can lead to inequality and discrimination, and/or influence the life course of those who are subject to them. What is the real impact of these implicit biases on life trajectories and inequalities? What role do they play in the occurrence of different forms of discrimination? How can we spot them in our everyday lives and limit their effects?
On the eve of 14 June, the national day of action for equality, the UNIL Equality Office and the LIVES Centre - the Swiss Centre of Competence in Life-Course and Vulnerability Research - invite you to think critically and playfully about these important issues from the point of view of equality and respect for diversity.

Sexism in archaeology: from the remains of the past to current issues - Conference and round table discussion.
Following a report broadcast by RTS in June 2020 on sexism in archaeology in French-speaking Switzerland, the Archaeology and Antiquity Sciences Section (ASA) at the University of Lausanne invited the travelling exhibition Archéo-Sexisme to come and talk about discrimination in archaeology. The event also provided an opportunity to take a closer look at the history of the Section, and more specifically at the place of women within it, through a second exhibition entitled L'ASA 1980-2020: une histoire d'hommes et de femmes (The ASA 1980-2020: a history of men and women).
To mark the closing of this two-part exhibition and International Women's Rights Day, UNIL is inviting experts to look at and discuss sexism and discrimination in archaeology, from the remains of the past to current issues.
