Geography for All: supporting underrepresented students

We are committed to supporting geographers from underrepresented communities and minority ethnic backgrounds.

Geography for All draws on our understanding of the key barriers to participation and progression in geography before, during, and after university, and highlights the experiences of racially minoritised students.

It builds on some of our past research, including The Geography of Geography (2019) and Young People’s Views on Subject Choices, Further Study and Careers (2022).

If you are an underrepresented student, this initiative offers you and those supporting you:

  • Community: A hub for connection, support, and shared learning.
  • Signposting: A curated directory of opportunities across the social mobility landscape, highlighting programmes, scholarships, internships, and career pathways.
  • Amplifying anti-racism and decolonial practice: Highlighting the work and experiences of those already leading the way in shaping more equitable futures.
