The College is hosting this panel discussion in response to the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests.
BAME people, friends and colleagues are reeling from the events surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Many are struggling to communicate how they are feeling and how to support one another at work, and beyond.
This panel discussion will aim to share experiences and create dialogues so we can acknowledge the many ways Black people are affected, and to begin building alliances across our all facets of diversity. The event will be chaired by Femi Otitoju, Managing Director at Challenge Consultancy Ltd, with panellists:
- Harbhajan Brar, Director of HR, Imperial College London
- Marcia Willis Stewart, Managing Partner at Birnberg Peirce & Partners Solicitors
- Dr Keon West, Reader in Psychology at Goldsmiths University of London and Director of Equalab
- Professor Stephen Curry, Assistant Provost (EDI), Imperial College London
If you would like to attend the event please email the HR team to register. Closer to the event, details of how to join will be emailed to those registered.
This event is primarily for Imperial staff but students are also welcome. The event will not be recorded.
The College has announced some initial steps it will take as an institution to address racial inequality.
