We are fully committed to supporting, empowering and levelling the playing field for our students, research staff and graduates from all backgrounds and communities.
Our audiences are keen to see representation that mirrors King’s diverse population and explore how organisations we work with, celebrate and champion diversity within their own structures.
We recognise that inequality exists and that historically certain groups are under-represented across our work, creating a visibility and role model barrier to this aspiration.
This includes speakers and representation from Black, Asian & Diverse Heritage panellists, those with a visible or invisible disability and those from backgrounds socially under-represented in higher education but spans the intersectionality of these and other groups including gender equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion and neurodiversity.
We sometimes ask partners and speakers to complete an inclusion form so we can track our own progress on this aspiration - by bringing different perspectives and lived experiences, we hope to enhance the event experience for all.
