Close the Gap Symposium July 2022
This blog post has been written by Tyra Amofah-Akardom and Dami Folayan, both students in the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge.
In November 2021, the Office for Students (OfS) and Research England (RE) awarded funding to 13 projects working to improve access and participation for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students in postgraduate research study. In July 2022, teams from four of these projects came together at the University of Oxford to consider the theme of Strategies for Improving Equity in and through Research Degree Admission and Selection. They were joined by postgraduate research students who contributed their views and experiences throughout the day.
