SUMMARY:Getting Uncomfortable: Diverse priorities\, and continuing challeng
 es to D&I
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Fireside Chat with Rhammel Affl
 ick\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nHosted jointly by Imperial 600\, 
 Imperial As One\, and the Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Centre 
 at Imperial College London\, we’ll be hosting an intimate and interactiv
 e conversation with communications expert and LGBTQ+ rights advocate Rham
 mel Afflick.\nThe conversation of this lunch-time event will focus on the 
 following topics:\nRhammel’s Story and Identity: His lived experience\, 
 his professional and community engagement activities\, and how this has po
 sitioned him as an expert in the equality\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI
 ) space.\nA Shift to a Communities Focus: Understanding the richness and d
 iversity within the BAME and LGBTQ+ Communities\, and how taking a ‘comm
 unities approach’ helps recognise the differences within these groups\, 
 but it also helps better navigate the intersecting identities related to d
 iversity and inclusion programmes.\nGetting Uncomfortable: Why it’s some
 times necessary to push the envelope when tackling continuing disparities 
 in access to opportunities and resources\, at a time when Western society 
 seems to have made big advances on the inclusion front.\nThe Importance of
  Global Pride Celebrations: Why is it still important to celebrate Pride\,
  and why do we see more targeted versions of Pride celebrations like UK Bl
 ack Pride for example? How do national vs. more city-based organisations n
 eed to coordinate in the organisation of Pride celebrations.\nHistorically
 \, global Pride celebrations have taken place in the month of June and whi
 le the ongoing global pandemic makes it difficult to bring large groups of
  people together at the current time\, the staff and postgraduate student 
 networks of Imperial College – together with the EDI Centre at the unive
 rsity\, is organising this event to kick off Pride-related\, online progra
 mming in June 2021.\nMore About the Event Hosts\nImperial 600: Imperial C
 ollege’s network for LGBTQ+ staff\, postgraduate students and their alli
 es.\nImperial As One: Imperial College’s advisory group made up of Black
 \, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff.\nEDI Centre: A dedicated team a
 t Imperial College that works to support staff and make Imperial a better 
 place to work by promoting equality\, diversity and inclusion (EDI).\n\n\n
