Race at the intersection | Disability and Race | Online panel discussion

In our "Race at the intersection" event series, we will explore how the impact of gender, sexual orientation, disability and socioeconomic background is magnified when one identifies as a Black and Ethnic minority individual.

How do class, gender, sexual orientation and disability intersect with one another and how are these intensified by the addition of race?

Come and hear from our panel of guest speakers from an array of cultural backgrounds who identify with one or more of the protected characteristics. They will reflect on their experiences on how their background has shaped their education and career in Engineering.

This third event will focus on how race intersects with the experience of people with disabilities.

Our panel of speakers will include:

• Dr Darren Nesbeth, Associate Professor, UCL Biochemical Engineering. 
• Dr Sunny Bains, Associate Professor, UCL Biochemical Engineering.
• Professoer Vanessa Diaz, Vice Dean EDI, Professor of Healthcare Engineering, UCL Mechanical Engineering.

These panel discussions will take place in May and June 2021 and are open to all UCL staff, students and alumni.
