What's on: Black History Month

This Black History Month, there’s plenty for you to get involved with! So, we’ve put together some highlights below – join us to celebrate and learn together.

This special online event for Black History Month will look at identity, representation, and belonging in higher education.

Joined by guest speaker Dr Camille London-Miyo MBE, the Racial Literacy Lead at the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre, she’ll cover insights from her research into racial literacy and representation in education.

Plus, the session will finish with an interactive scenario-based workshop where you can chat to fellow students about how we can create more inclusive spaces!
