 It is important to define terms to share the same understanding of them so that we know what we are talking about, so that we can achieve a sense of unity, both by using the terms in the same way and by working out the definitions in the first place, and so that we can keep the terms from becoming meaningless buzzwords that lose their critical potential. Understanding each other, for instance, by using the same terminology, might also help to create a feeling of social safety and well-being. Diversity refers to the gamut of characteristics that make up our identity, and gender is one huge chunk of how we choose to identify and express ourselves in a gendered manner, so it is extremely important that any equity work that we do is informed by a gendered analysis. I think that university can still be quite hierarchical and in some respects also patriarchal environment where actually equality and diversity terms are used in a very narrow sense of their meanings. Definitions can be of great support in contesting such kind of practices. It also allows us to understand what our priorities are for action, what changes have been made and able to kind of understand what progress we've made as well, and I think that having defined terms helps us to really shape our conversation and our action. These terms must be shared, discussed, adapted and translated, and also grounded onto bodies of scientific research in order to ensure evidence-based policymaking.
