Race equality
Birkbeck is committed to addressing racism and challenging injustice. Read our Equality and Diversity Statement.
Throughout our history, we've recognised the value in embracing diverse communities and we continue to thrive from an eclectic mix of both staff and students. Our vision has always been to see the potential in all individuals and to provide opportunities for all. Yet, we appreciate that as a College, we must undergo a period of self-reflection and review how we can better ensure that this vision is being met.
RACE EQUALITY CHARTER
We are firm in our belief that racism has no place at Birkbeck, and in line with our commitment to anti-racism, the College has signed up to the Race Equality Charter.
