Too many poorer students feel they don't fit in at university, but working-class academics can help … if they're hired in the first place. Explainer by management lecturer. bit.ly/395GkmN
Looking forward to our first official Teams meeting of term one this afternoon at 16:00 BST! If you would like to join in please drop us a message 😊
(THREAD) Earlier this year, 4 of our wonderful staff shared their unique and personal routes to becoming historians, to show that there is no single right way! Induction week, with young historians at the start of their own journeys, seems like the right time to share again...
New or returning to UCL History this week and first in your family to attend university? We have an online event taking place at 4pm tomorrow (Tuesday 29 Sept) run by our “First in Family” network - join via the induction schedule on moodle 😃 #LoveUCL
(3/3)...month we have launched 3 new staff/student networks in our Department (one of which Dr Lally leads). If you want to find out more and get involved, you can find out how to do so here: ucl.ac.uk/history/equali… #twitterstorians #diversityandinclusion
(1/3) Last Friday, we shared the first in our 'Staff Journeys' series, which aims to highlight the variety of backgrounds and experiences of UCL History staff. Today, we are sharing the next item in the series, written by Dr Jagjeet Lally @JagjeetLally: ucl.ac.uk/history/staff-…

Do follow @HistoryFirstGen to connect with fellow first generation UCL historians. In 2014 I was the first from my family to go to university and had little idea what to expect. Six years on, I’m still studying and eager to learn more. University is a life-changing experience.
First in your family to go to uni? Returning or starting with us in September? Check out our new first in family network below 🔽
