Ethnicity and race
CHE is committed to ensuring that staff and students from all ethnic and racial backgrounds feel welcome and supported.
Our research greatly benefits from the experiences of staff, students, visitors and collaborators from different countries and backgrounds.
The University’s Staff Race Equality Forum provides opportunities for peer networking, support and development amongst Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff and the promotion of University values around inclusiveness. Support for students is available from the Student Hub and YUSU, including YUSU’s BAME Officers.
The University of York provides information and resources to help all of us better understand what it is like to experience racism, how to support those who experience racism and what we can do to combat it. See Let’s talk about race and racism for more details.
The Library and Archives are committed to ensuring they are representative of the diversity of voices at the University and in our wider community. Their Your Library, Your Voice platform includes a growing range of reading lists on equality and diversity themes. One of these focuses on the Black Lives Matter movement, and related issues of racism and decolonising education.
