What Is Liberation Conference?

Lead by Tomi Amole, your Vice President Welffare and Campaigns, and Hamza Rehman, your Vice President Postgraduate, Liberation conference 2023 aims to build on the successes of the online conference with the same name held two years ago. This Week long, primarily in-person, co-collaborative set of workshops, talks and discussions in week 7 of term 2, where students can come together to discuss and learn about a variety of political issues affecting marginalised people. It aims to both provide students space for co-creation and learning and provide access to expert thinkers and seasoned activists whom students may not be able to engage with over the course of their studies or traditional participation in societies, enhancing the student experience, particularly for BAME, LGBTQ, disabled and international students.
