Black History Month
October marks Black History Month in the UK, a time when the achievements and struggles of Black people are recognised and celebrated throughout the UK.
Working closely with the Students' Union and the Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) we host a range of events and activities for staff and students throughout the month to learn more about Black history, celebrate culture and work towards creating a more inclusive campus.
All upcoming events are listed on the Keele App
