What Is Liberation Conference?

Lead by Tomi Amole, your Vice President Welffare and Campaigns, and Hamza Rehman, your Vice President Postgraduate, Liberation conference 2023 aims to build on the successes of the online conference with the same name held two years ago. This Week long, primarily in-person, co-collaborative set of workshops, talks and discussions in week 7 of term 2, where students can come together to discuss and learn about a variety of political issues affecting marginalised people. It aims to both provide students space for co-creation and learning and provide access to expert thinkers and seasoned activists whom students may not be able to engage with over the course of their studies or traditional participation in societies, enhancing the student experience, particularly for BAME, LGBTQ, disabled and international students.

Liberation Conference events are open to any University of Warwick student who may be interested in attending! Our workshops and lectures are aimed to create thought provoking discussions, and offer a space to learn, talk, interact and discuss openly a range of different topics. We have 5 different themed days throughout the week, which are:
Monday the 20th: Law, Justice and Abolition
Monday the 21st: The Politics of Identity
Wednesday the 22nd: Nationalism, boarders and Migrant Solidarity
Thursday the 23rd: Climate Crisis
Friday the 24th: Class, Work, and the Student Movement
