Black History Month @ Middlesex University Students' Union

As Black History Month celebrates its 37th anniversary, MDXSU recognises that being forward-thinking on liberation, equality, diversity, and inclusion on campus and online is vital.

Our students come from different backgrounds, bringing unique knowledge, skills, and experience to the #TeamMDX community. At MDXSU we celebrate diversity all year round - so make sure to check our EVENTS page to see what's on, and our LIBERATIONS pages on how we're driving social change.

This year's theme: Standing firm in power and pride. Instead of educating people about Black History Month, we want to celebrate Black people this BHM.

We've collaborated with students across the Black Liberation Student Group and African & Caribbean Society (ACS) to bring you a whole month of events celebrating Black excellence!

Black Students' Experience

On Monday 1st June 2020, we made pledges to ensure that we continue to support our Black communities at Middlesex University and wider society (read the full article here). Since then, we have conducted research into the Black Students' Experience (BSE) at Middlesex. After seven months of engaging with the Black community through surveys and focus groups, this resulted in a report with findings on the existing BSE and recommendations to improve the BSE at MDX and MDXSU.

We are committed to continually educating ourselves and others on the oppression and discrimination and also the success and contributions of Black people and culture.
