This Too, Is Cambridge

"This Too, Is Cambridge" is a series of panel events focussing on the experiences of minortised staff at the University, Department and Colleges. These events are a space to recognise and celebrate the achievements of staff from all backgrounds.

The event will focus on East &amp; South East Asian experiences in Cambridge to both promote and celebrate those staff at the University, as well as recognise the specific issues and challenges they are faced with. In the course of the conversation, we hope to raise awareness around many issues including the normalisation of anti-Asian attitudes (which has been put into particularly sharp relief by the pandemic), whilst amplifying E/SE Asian viewpoints which are rarely heard.Schedule17:30 – 17:40 Welcome, Dr Kenny Monrose17:40 – 17:50 Introduction, Michelle Hawthorne17:50 – 18:00 Keynote speaker, Professor Valerie Voon18:00 – 18:30 Panel discussion, chaired by Michelle Hawthorne 18:30 – 19:00 Q&A discussion19:00 – 20:00 Reception with refreshmentsPanellistsSusie Chan (Postdoc Academy)Michelle Hawthorne (Cambridge Admissions Office)Dr Li Su (Psychiatry)Jie Zhou (Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership)Professor Valerie Voon (Psychiatry)ReceptionThere will be a drinks reception following this event from 7-8pm.
