This week on Working for Students we hear how Durham SU has moved savings out of HSBC as part of a push for more ethical banking, and why that decision could strengthen the case for wider divestment campaigns across higher education.
We also look at how Middlesex SU has been building liberation networks through student-led community development, and how Sussex SU is working to make sport more inclusive for trans students while navigating the constraints of national competitive frameworks.
With Abi Taylor, President at Durham SU; Lulu Thomas from Middlesex SU’s Fast Track scheme; and Ella Goodchild, Sports, Societies and Events Officer, and Imo Greene, Sports Club Assistant, at Sussex SU. Hosted by Livia Scott (Wonkhe) and Alan Roberts (CounterCulture).
