Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Southampton Arts and Humanities

Our Festivals are supported by the Public Engagement with Research unit in a spirit of respect, compassion and curiosity. We strongly believe that all our Festival events and activities, whether in-person or digital, should be accessible to everyone.

We aim to provide a festival platform that can maximise opportunities for research engagement and for promoting two-way communications between our various communities. We value the diversity of both our contributors and our audiences.

Helped by a dedicated Steering Group with representation from across the University, we are embedding accessibility and inclusion at the heart of Festival delivery and into our future plans. In particular, as we move cautiously past the current global crisis, we will be aiming to blend the best aspects of online activity with the excitement of live on-campus and community events.

As always, please take a moment, via our feedback forms at live digital events or by directly contacting us, to let us know how we might improve our operations, the website and your Festival experience with us.
