Spearheading Success at Southampton: Supporting students from currently underrepresented backgrounds (online)

Wednesday 18th June 2025, 12:00pm

This interactive workshop will provide an introduction to the student groups supported by the Student Inclusion team, namely: free-school meal eligible, IMDQ1, care experienced and estranged, Black, and mature. 

The workshop will explore what it means to be from these student groups, focusing on an intersectional approach, and how this may present barriers to their success whilst at university. 

Using myth busting and case study exercises, attendees will be able to challenge assumptions and consider how they can support and foster a more inclusive environment for the students they work with.

By the end of this event, participants should be able to:

·       Gain an understanding of various student groups that are currently underrepresented in higher education and the barriers they may face, using data around differential outcomes to understand this

·       Increase knowledge and awareness of the work that the Student Inclusion team does to support these students

·       Challenge any pre-existing assumptions around these students groups and shift thinking to a non-deficit model

·       Identify changes you can make to foster a more inclusive learning environment

Session led by:

Chido Chipato and colleagues from Student Inclusion Team, WPSM
