Loughborough University Symposium for Anti-Racism

About this event

In May 2022, Loughborough University was awarded our Bronze Race Equality Charter (REC) award. In February 2025, we marked the mid-way point in our REC cycle with Loughborough University’s first Symposium for Anti-Racism.

The Symposium for Anti-Racism will be an opportunity for the institution reflect on the initial priorities laid out in our REC action plan and take stock of our progress - to celebrate our achievements, to re-state our commitment to becoming an anti-racist institution and to outline our next steps on this journey.

The Symposium will begin with an opening address from Provost Prof. Rachel Thompson, followed by a panel discussion with senior staff, EDI leads and external partners.

Attendees will then be able to explore an exhibition showcasing the anti-racism projects and research being led by staff and students across both our campuses, as well as campus partners and external partners. Please check our event page if you would like to know more about featuring your work in the exhibition.

The event is open to staff, students, and internal and external partners. Refreshments will be provided.
