Our 'Staff Journeys' series highlights the different experiences and interesting routes that our historians have taken to get to where they are.

Our staff and students have recommended and created resources to learn more about Black history.

The Living at Home Journals
A podcast series put together by the Living at Home Network to explore the experiences, challenges and successes of being a commuting student at UCL.
UCL History has six student networks that provide a space in which staff and students at all levels can meet new people, support each other, organise events and feed into the wider department culture of diversity, inclusivity and belonging.
