As we mark Black History Month in the UK this October, our Associate Director for Diversity and Inclusion, Moni Akinsanya, shares her thoughts on celebrating this year’s theme while reflecting on recent events over the summer months.
Disability History Month runs between 16 November and 16 December 2023 and it is an opportunity to reflect on the past and create positive change for the present and the future.
This March, LJMU celebrated the achievements of over 2,400 graduates and welcomed two new honorary fellows.
As part of the University's commitment to supporting equality and diversity in the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), we have put in place safe and supportive structures for eligible academic staff to declare information about any equality-related circumstances that may have affected their ability to research productively during the assessment period (1 January 2014 - 31 December 2020), and particularly their ability to produce research outputs at the same rate as staff not affected by circumstances.
