Our values

Our values determine how we do what we do. We are:

Outward-looking [open-minded and courageous]

We reach out to, and through, our global community. As a world-renowned hub for research and engagement on global and regional issues, St Antony’s offers a space for critical thinking and the exchange of ideas. We support our members – from those who become leaders, policymakers, and diplomats to those who themselves go on to academic research and teaching – in fact, all who have the courage to go out into the world to be change-makers in our global future.

Respectful [supportive and collaborative] 

We are an academic hub, a highly respected centre for research, and a home for our students. As a community, we seek to understand and embrace differences in people, ideas, and experiences with tolerance and understanding. We aim to promote a positive atmosphere where all members of the College are supported to develop and fulfil their full potential.

Diverse [equitable and inclusive]

We welcome people from all backgrounds and all parts of the world. We believe that embracing equity, diversity, and inclusion will make for a more successful environment, to allow us to better support our members to make a difference in the world. 

Curious [challenging and respectful]

We seek new ways of understanding the world and one another. We encourage curiosity and an environment that embraces challenge, alongside academic rigour, and respect for others.
