The Racial Equality Charter is organising a collaborative session to create an anti-racist campus. This session is aimed to promote acceptance and appreciation of each individual's uniqueness during Disability Pride Month. This is a part of our regular monthly Anti-racist talk. While ableism is a problematic construct for recognising "success" in the modern world, we wish to honour the pride of being "disabled".

We must come together as a community to address systemic racism and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable environment, regardless of race or any other differences. Therefore, we want to hear our life stories and seek to understand the intersectionality of differences within the context of a racially stratified society.

Our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion team, as well as our staff and students, will feature expert speakers who will share their insights. We will have Hannah Rosbrook-Brown, and Monet Booker who will present their thoughts on 'Race & Pride, some intersectional views'.

We believe that everyone deserves to be heard and valued, regardless of their race or disability status. We hope that this session will be a platform for us to learn from each other and work towards creating a more inclusive campus.

Thank you for your participation and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

The event will be held on Library C130, from 12:00 to 13:30 on Tuesday, 7/18/2023.

This event is open to staff and students at Lancaster University, but registration is required.

A vegetarian lunch will be provided.
