From Representation to Action

This poster presentation highlights the work of Student Race Advocates (SRAs) at the University of Chester in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion both within the university and across the wider Cheshire community.

The session will showcase a range of research-led and collaborative initiatives and how student-led advocacy can translate lived experience into informing institutional practices and strengthening community relationships. Attendees will be invited to reflect on their personal ability to drive equity and be a changemaker, as well as reflect on the University of Chester’s ongoing commitment to diversity and to consider how collaborative, community-based approaches can move beyond representation towards fostering genuine belonging and inclusive change.
