Hi all, You may be aware of recent press coverage about the under-representation of white working class males within higher education (https://www.lkmco.org/white-working-class-boys-higher-education-widening-participation/) . In December we have a CPD conference for the widening participation and outreach staff across 6 different universities and we would like to have a workshop/ talk on how to engage under-represented groups in activities. I was wondering whether any colleagues within the museum education sector had any experience of trying to engage an under-represented group to their institution or even if you could recommend a speaker who you have seen talking on this subject. Many thanks Claire Claire O'Neill Widening Participation Project Leader UK Student Recruitment and Outreach Room 4113, Level 4 George Thomas Building (Building 37) University of Southampton Highfield Southampton SO17 1BJ Tel: 023 8059 8790 Fax: 023 8059 8784 Web: www.southampton.ac.uk/schoolsandcolleges<http://www.southampton.ac.uk/schoolsandcolleges> [Description: Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/unisouthampton> [Description: Twitter] <http://twitter.com/unisouthampton> [Description: Youtube] <http://www.youtube.com/sotoncomms> [Description: Futurity] <http://www.futurity.org/tag/university-of-southampton/> [Description: iTunes U] <http://www.southampton.ac.uk/itunes/> Please note my working days are Wednesday morning, Thursday and Friday + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GEM + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
