About Humanities & Identities
The series focuses on multiple research areas relating to diversity including race, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, class, religion and inequality and proposed events should fit the theme of the series.
Humanities & Identities brings together researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, creative thinkers and wider communities interested in forms of self-identity past, present, and future. We welcome innovative ideas from researchers working across the humanities and beyond on areas that link to diversity and inclusivity.
