A new academic year for LGBTQ+ Equity in the Faculty of Brain Sciences

By FBS.EDI, on 5 October 2022

As another academic year begins, we want to welcome new staff and students to UCL’s Faculty of Brain Sciences, and let you know about LGBTQ+ equity groups and activities in the Faculty and beyond – see below for a list.

We’re also looking forward to hosting our first Faculty of Brain Sciences LGBTQ+ Equity event this term – on the evening of Tuesday 8thNovember we’ll be hosting a free event with UCL PALS researcher Dr Julia Shaw, who will be talking about her book, “Bi: The hidden culture, history, and science of bisexuality”. Event details can be found here.

Faculty of Brain Sciences LGBTQ+ Equity group

Our Faculty of Brain Sciences LGBTQ+ Equity committee meets at least once a term and is open to staff and research students in the Faculty who identify as LGBTQ+ or who have a significant interest/experience in LGBTQ+ equity. We are currently inviting new members, and would particularly like to increase representation of trans and non-binary colleagues and those with intersectional LGBTQ+ identities. Please email c.mgettigan@ucl.ac.uk for more information and to submit a short expression of interest.

Join our Faculty LGBTQ+ groups on Teams:

  • FBSLGBTQ+: For information and updates on our LGBTQ+ events and projects within the Faculty. A public group open to LGBTQ+ staff and research students, plus allies!
  • Out@BrainSciences:A space to connect with LGBTQ+ colleagues across the Faculty of Brain Sciences. Once inside the group, membership is not anonymous, so please request to join if/when you feel comfortable. A private group for LGBTQ+ staff and research students.
