A Safe Space” Event

We aim to uphold a (virtual) space that is inclusive, welcoming, affirming, and respectful for everyone, especially all those with minoritised identities as a result of race, class, disability, sexuality or other protected characteristics. This includes all women (trans, intersex and cis) and all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people.

This event will be held in webinar’ format on Zoom. This means that attendees will not be able to see or communicate with other audience members. All audience questions/​comments will be moderated before being shared.

We would like to thank the Enhancing Research Culture fund from Research England via the University of York for supporting the development of this toolkit.
