The purpose of the Network is to support and facilitate collaboration between individual University staff networks and to provide a collective voice within the sector on common themes and issues around race equality. The Network has been developed by a Steering Group, of which Shakina Chinedu, Diversity Advisor, from University of Oxford is the acting Chair. On behalf of the whole group, I would like to invite you to the launch of the Network of Networks on 26th June 2014 at the University of Leeds. The launch will be of particular interest to Chairs of University staff networks and minority ethnic staff at institutions without a university staff network.
