This year's theme, ‘The World Can’t Wait’, guarantees an evening full of insightful discussions from a handful of inspiring academics and students. Ranging from talks about the ‘Masculinization of Black Features’ to ‘Challenging Ageism in Women’s Health’ and many more, this event promises to produce intellectually stimulating conversations about a wide range of multidisciplinary of ideas.

Doors will open at 4pm and the conference will start at 4:30pm, followed by speakers (including LEN founders Nikki Love and Robert McKinna), guest performances, and a networking event after the talks are finished. 

This year’s event is not one to be missed!
