EDI Initiatives and Events  

In 2023-24 we initiated a series of Critical workshops dealing with the historic legacy of eugenics, which are being developed to be even more student shaped and led in 2024-25.  These workshops are supported by the Eugenics Legacy Education Project (ELEP) and funded by UCL ChangeMakers.
