Steering committee for African, Asian, and other minoritised groups (AAMG)
Who are we and what do we do
Manifest Diversity was created to be driven by student leaders, supported by a multi-disciplinary team, to develop and embed a student-led steering group with opportunities for co-collaboration across all elements of university life, facilitate opportunities to network, develop leadership skills, and promote the student voice and an inclusive culture.
We aim to do this by
– Building a platform and community to give students a voice to collectively address barriers to equality. This will embed and promote multiple initiatives which will be highlighted and developed by students and for students in collaboration with multi-disciplinary staff
– Identifying issues that affect students from African Asian or other Minoritised groups and work proactively to ensure equality of provision across all areas of university business
– To provide a safe space for discussion (what do ‘I’ need as a student to make me feel comfortable) and opportunities to affect structural racism as a collective
Our group aligns with the following Hallam Model principles
Engage – our student leaders are from different areas across the university and are employed to work together, collaborate with others and training and development opportunities are a regular fixture.
Challenge – each student leader has a specific remit, but all are focused on embedding our steering group which in turn is challenging how best to address the issue of disparity in degree awarding
Collaborate – our steering group works together and our hope is to extend this opportunity for collaboration across all students.
Thrive – our student leaders are developing their confidence as they build on previous successes (our map) and deliver new opportunities across the university aimed at empowering and listening to their AAMG peers.
