The Department of Biology is committed to building an inclusive and welcoming community for all staff and students. We are actively working to support staff and students who identify as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, +) with dedicated staff and student representatives who attend the Department's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion working group.
We hold events open to both staff and students, including those focused around wider events such as the City of York's LGBTQ History Month and LGBTSTEM Day. These events include speakers, film nights and relaxed social drop-in sessions.
Invites will be available in the staff / student newsletters
