Out in Geography
UCL Geography is proud to support LGBTQI+ students and staff, fostering an inclusive community through networks, events, research, and wellbeing resources.
About the Network
The department has its own LGBTQI+ network called Out in Geography. The group meets once a term for coffee and cake, and past social events have included bowling and an LGBTQI+ tour of the V&A.
A dedicated Facebook page and confidential mailing list promote relevant news and events. The network reports directly to the EDI Committee.
- January 2019: UCL-wide event on Gender Diversity
- July 2019 and February 2020: LGBTQI+ themed Wikithons
