Working Lives of Minoritised Professionals

Cutting across divides whilst embracing difference, the exhibit collects and constellates the voices and experiences of minoritised academics via posters and a gesture of dynamic mapping. An audiovisual presentation of the words of diverse academics explores the complex networks of power, visibility, community, and identity (whether based on gender, race/ethnicity, religion, disability, LGBTQ+ and social class) which academic professionals navigate at work.

At a time of increasing rhetoric of intolerance towards minoritised communities in the UK and globally, this event is motivated by a desire to harness the power of storytelling and narratives to influence hearts and minds.

To attend in person, please register via Eventbrite.
