UCU CPD workshop: Allyship and Solidarity

Loughborough UCU branch has organised an online CPD workshop 'Allyship and Solidarity' which is open to all Loughborough staff members. Masters and PhD students are also welcome to attend the session.

'Allyship' has its roots firmly within the LGBT community and has more recently been a live discussion within the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. But how can real allies truly support each other? And how can we build that support into organisations that will help us realise the dreams of equality that we all yearn for. If you are fed up with seeing tokenistic gestures of solidarity on social media and want to explore what genuine and meaningful allyship looks like, at work and in your trade union, please come along.
