Working Lives of Minoritised Professionals

This is an in-person research exhibit that features the stories of lived experiences of inclusion and exclusion of minoritised academics.

Cutting across divides whilst embracing difference, the exhibit collects and constellates the voices and experiences of minoritised academics via posters and a gesture of dynamic mapping. An audiovisual presentation of the words of diverse academics explores the complex networks of power, visibility, community, and identity (whether based on gender, race/ethnicity, religion, disability, LGBTQ+ and social class) which academic professionals navigate at work.

At a time of increasing rhetoric of intolerance towards minoritised communities in the UK and globally, this event is motivated by a desire to harness the power of storytelling and narratives to influence hearts and minds.
