UCL History is committed to promoting equality and diversity, and creating an inclusive environment for all staff and students.
This page includes links to general resources on equality, diversity, and inclusion at UCL, a selection of staff journeys, and our six student networks, which aim to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging in our diverse student body. The networks are 'Disability and Neurodiversity', 'First-generation and Working Students', 'LGBTQ+', 'Living at Home', 'BAME', and 'International Students'.
UCL History is a diverse and inclusive department and our 'Staff Journeys' series highlights the different experiences of our staff and the interesting routes they have taken in their careers and personal lives.

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 potentially feed into the wider culture of the department by developing conversations around how we can create a more inclusive environment. Below are the contact details for each network:
