Working Class Network

Initiated in 2023, the Working Class Network is a group organised to foster a sense of community and belonging for working class staff & students from all programmes and years of study in our school.

  • Are you the first in the family to attend university?
  • Do you identify as working class?
  • Looking for people with similar experiences?

If so, please join us at the new Working Class Network for staff and students in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies and the School of Performance and Cultural Industries.

Together, we will work to share our experiences, recognise and address shared challenges.

We welcome all who identify as working class to join us in a safe space.

No preparation required - just turn up!

The venue for this week is room 1.11 in the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr Rebecca Starr at r.starr@leeds.ac.uk and Dr Rosie Ramsden at r.ramsden@leeds.ac.uk.
