While we celebrate the accomplishments of Black people during Black History Month, it's also important to acknowledge the lived experiences of Black communities. Systemic racism is a real and pervasive part of society. Take a moment to reflect with us ⬇️

We’ll also continue supporting our Black community all year round, not just during Black History Month. That's a promise.

So, where do we go from here? Well, to be better allies at Imperial and beyond, creating change should be part of all our lives. We should all educate ourselves, challenge racism, and most importantly, listen to our Black community. More here 👇🏾 ow.ly/OCMX50LqKsV

We've also launched initiatives, such as the Provost's Visiting Professor Programme, to increase the number of staff at Imperial from Black heritage and other underrepresented backgrounds. We know there’s so much more for us to do, and we’re committed to keep pushing forward.

We also know that Imperial isn't perfect. There’s a lot more we can do as an institution to fight systemic racism in the sector, and we’re working on it. Recently we've introduced new scholarships and mentoring for Black students to help dismantle barriers to applying.

We’ve listened to the Black community at Imperial. You have told us, “We witnessed this happen abroad and told ourselves we didn’t have these issues here.” You have told us, “That could have been me.”

We know that the death of Black people at the hands of those in power – such as 24-year-old rapper and architecture student Chris Kaba, who was fatally shot by police in London not far from our South Kensington Campus – also impacts our community.

Discrimination, prejudice, microaggressions, and racism still exist. And we know that Black people in the UK are particularly affected by it – often daily.

“Although I’d seen photos of the Atlas Mountains, nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of the scenery. Each day we were mesmerised by the waterfalls, streams and snowy peaks. The views were breath-taking (even before accounting for the lower level of oxygen!).”

“Expedition research requires a ‘portable’ lab. All equipment needed to be transported with us and everything needed preparation. There was no opportunity to change methodology with the benefit of hindsight, as acquiring additional tools was impossible.”

“Adventure tourism is growing rapidly, with millions of people undertaking expeditions each year, yet there’s a lack of research related to the psychological impact on individuals who are relatively new to the mountains.”

“High altitude expeditions are physically demanding, requiring intense activity and leading to a myriad of physiological changes, in addition to intense mental stressors. Our research aimed to explore each of these areas to deepen our understanding of their impact.”
