Geographers Against Classism
As a student-run network, we hope to bring people together in a supportive environment to create a safe community in which to discuss class and social inequalities within the Department of Geography.
We aim to enact change within the Department to recognise and address assumptions of shared privilege, boosting unheard perspectives both socially and academically.

Avoid assuming that everyone shares the same social or economic background; acknowledge diverse experiences within the Department.
