Part-time Liberation Officers are volunteer positions that are held alongside your studies. Each officer represents students who self-identify as belonging to one or more of 4 liberation groups - Women students, BAME students, LGTBQ+ students and students with disabilities. We use the term ‘liberation’ because we believe that working on these issues is about liberation – freedom from the discrimination and oppression people face because of their identities.
