Equality for who?

Look at any university website and you will find a statement, or policy, outlining how they support and include marginalised students and staff. It might use words like ‘decolonising’, ‘reasonable adjustments’; there might be a rainbow flag in the background. But how does this compare to the lived experience of being a marginalised person in higher education?

Join the ‘Whose Rainbow?’ project team at this online discussion with researchers, activists and practitioners who are exploring the lived-realities of people’s lives within higher education institutions, thinking about LGBT-inclusion, ableism and racism. They will ask: what would it take for universities to be truly inclusive spaces?

The ‘Whose Rainbow?’ project looked at the use of rainbow symbolism in higher education. They will be sharing findings from the project at the event.
