Strathclyde celebrates LGBT+ History month
Throughout February, we celebrate LGBT+ History Month.
As a socially progressive and people-oriented University, we value the diversity of our student and staff communities. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive culture and environment where everyone thrives in their work and study.
LGBT+ History Month is marked across the UK throughout February as an opportunity to connect and reflect on the past and present of the LGBT+ community, celebrate LGBT+ cultures and progress towards equality over time, and explore what the lessons of history can teach us for the future.
LGBT+ inclusion & support at Strathclyde
Online LGBTQI+ Hub
Our new LGBTQI+ online hub brings together key information for students and staff on how to get support, get involved, relevant research, activities, policies and guidance.
Student LGBTQ+ Society & LGBT+ Student Rep
The LGBT+ Society represents LGBT+ students at the University. It runs events and campaigns throughout the year and provides a space for LGBT+ students to socialise and have their voices heard. The LGBT+ Student Rep is Ashleigh Bruce.
NEW! LGBTQI+ Careers Resource
We are excited to share this new career guide which is packed with useful hints and tips to support our LGBTQI+ students and graduates transition from university into employment.
StrathPride: LGBTQI+ Staff & PGR Network
StrathPride, the LGBTQI+ Staff and PGR Network provides an opportunity to build a more diverse and inclusive university community and enhance support for and visibility of LGBTQI+ people at Strathclyde. StrathPride holds regular meetups, and membership is open to LGBTQI+ staff, postgraduate researchers and allies.
‘Ask Alex’: trans, non-binary & gender diverse support
We recognise the unique issues faced by trans and non-binary students and staff, both in a university environment and in the wider community, and we are committed to providing support.
Our named contacts for trans and non-binary students and staff can advise and help co-ordinate support in a range of areas.
Report & Support
We're committed to creating an environment in which all students, staff and visitors feel welcomed and valued, and in which discriminatory behaviour and harassment are not tolerated. The University will take prompt action in response to any alleged discrimination, victimisation, or harassment, including that based on sexual orientation, sex, gender and trans status.
If you experience or witness bullying, harassment or violence on campus and/or relating to university staff and students, you can report this via Strathclyde’s Report & Support system. Reports can be made anonymously.
