Trans Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy. 

Our Safe Listening Space provides an opportunity for a confidential, open discussion focused on lived experience in a safe environment. It will be held via Teams, and sessions will not be recorded to protect the confidentiality of attendees. Key themes from the session may be anonymously shared with the EDI team and staff network to support future work.

Introducing our facilitators 

Imogen Gingell is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy, and a member of the Pulse LGBT+ Network Committee. 

Libby Barton is an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist in the University’s EDI Team  

If you would like to join the session, please register via MS Teams 

If you have any questions about the session, please reach out to the Diversity team by emailing [email protected].

We look forward to listening to you.  

Awareness, allyship and support 

Trans Awareness Week is a great opportunity to learn more about what it means to be trans or non-binary, and how to be an ally. We have lots of resources to help:
