Engagement
Our approach to engagement support our approach to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through collaboration with communities, industry, and policymakers.
LGBTQIA+ History Month
Queen Mary celebrates LGBTQIA+ History Month each February with a rich programme of events, campaigns and educational resources that promote visibility and understanding for LGBTQIA+ communities. The 2025 theme “Activism and Social Change” emphasises allyship, intersectionality and the ongoing struggle for rights, contributions and recognition. By engaging students, staff and community partners in open dialogue and reflection, the university helps dismantle discrimination and build a more inclusive environment for all.
Black History Month
Queen Mary honours Black History Month each October through a diverse calendar of events, workshops, and exhibitions that celebrate Black achievement and promote racial equity. In 2024 the theme emphasised “Community, Culture, and Care”, engaging students, staff, and local organisations in discussion on racial justice and inclusion. By centring lived experiences and fostering dialogue across our community, the university advances inclusive representation and helps reduce systemic inequalities.
