Social Impact leader speaker series: Where next for the queer refugee?

As part of the Social Impact Lab‘s mission to develop world-class social impact leadership among our students, they will be showcasing different role models of global leadership that will inspire students throughout their careers.

We are delighted to announce that we are kicking off this year’s Social Impact Leaders Speaker Series with the inspiring alum S Chelvan, Barrister at No5 Barristers’ Chambers.

The event:

At the End of the Rainbow:  Where Next for the Queer Refugee?

Thursday 25 October at 17:00

Hartley Suite, Highfield Campus

Tickets are limited so please register to attend here.

Having practiced in the field of LGBT+ asylum since 2001, Chelvan has been recognised as the leading legal expert by the UK’s Legal Directories since 2006, spearheading some of the leading cases since 2005. Join us to learn about S Chelvan’s leadership journey since graduating from the University of Southampton and his work in the field of LGBT+ asylum.

‘To be the mouthpiece for those who know the words but have no voice’ – S Chelvan is a globally recognised legal expert on refugee and human rights claims based on sexual, or gender identity and expression.

This event has been generously supported by the friends, supporters and alumni of our University.
