Cibyl and Accenture, supported by Student Minds, are conducting the UK’s largest study into university student and graduate mental health.
Based on responses from 6,685 students and recent graduates across 140+ universities, the research explores how academic pressure, finances, social life and career uncertainty shape mental health outcomes.
This year’s findings highlight both scale and urgency. More than half of respondents (55%) said they have experienced mental health difficulties at some point in their lives, with 29% experiencing them at the time of the survey. Financial stress remains a dominant driver, with 64% worrying about money daily or weekly.

More than three quarters of surveyed teachers in the European Union (EU) have encountered antisemitic incidents in their classroom, according to this report published by UNESCO with the support of the European Commission on the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day. The survey also shows alarmingly high levels of Holocaust denial and physical violence against Jewish students. Drawing from 2,030 teachers from 23 European Union countries, UNESCO’s new report provides the first European study of trends in teachers’ perceptions and experiences of antisemitism in the classroom. The data shows that more than three quarters (78%) of surveyed teachers have encountered at least one antisemitic incident between students, while over a quarter of them (27%) had witnessed nine or more such incidents.
In this powerful lecture, Leadership in the Key of Blue, Rosemary invited us to think deeply about inclusive leadership, representation, and what it means to lead with courage, clarity, and equity in complex times.
The conversation resonated strongly with practitioners across sectors, offering both reflection and challenge, grounded in lived experience and global insight.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to be part of the Institute for Equity, University Centre's community.
This article critically examines how non-academic women of colour experience inclusion within UK higher education institutions. Drawing on narrative and semi-structured interviews, it reveals that inclusion is often choreographed through surface-level gestures that legitimise universities without redistributing power. The analysis develops three conceptual tools – curated inclusion, institutional affective discipline and progression ambiguity – to theorise how diversity initiatives function as containment strategies rather than mechanisms for transformation. Informed by Black feminist, critical race and decolonial theories, the study exposes how emotional labour, strategic silences and conditional belonging operate as everyday technologies of racialised governance. By centring the voices of women in non-academic roles, the article extends existing debates on institutional whiteness and performative inclusion, arguing for a structural reimagining of equity work grounded in decolonial praxis and epistemic justice.

Calls to expand public investment in the arts often treat the existing cultural and institutional landscape as a given. Defund Culture challenges this assumption, asking instead what kinds of culture are being supported, through which institutions, and to whose benefit.
In pursuing these questions, the book turns attention to the structural inequalities that shape Britain’s creative and intellectual life. Drawing on critical theory, political philosophy, and cultural policy, Hall shows how the dominance of white, male, middle- and upper-class voices in the arts, media, and academy is sustained through longstanding funding arrangements and institutional hierarchies. Expanding access within this system (e.g. through social mobility initiatives)—however well intentioned—will not, on its own, produce structural change.
Policy and prosecutorial responses to the summer 2024 riots delink the violence from racism, paving the way for anti-immigration and Islamophobic protests and far-right vigilantism to form an infinite loop. A unique study published today by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) finds that policy and prosecutorial responses to the Summer 2024 riots that followed the brutal killings of threeRea

I attended this webinar recently and wanted to share its valuable contribution. It contains a presentation from Shereen Hunte (Engagement Manager, London Museum) and Reece Williams (Curator – Legacies of Enslavement, Manchester Science and Industry Museum) considering the emotiions evoked by material culture of archives relating to slavery. The National Archives consider the history of a textile and its links with the trade. The Museum of London focuses on difficult emotions and curating a gallery on sugar and slavery
The associated resources pack provides insights into how to research the history of slavery and enslavement using archival resources held at the National Archives. This focuses on British colonialism and UK government and empire records
Language is a major source of systemic inequities in science, particularly among scholars whose first language is not English. Studies have examined scientists' linguistic practices in specific contexts; few, however, have provided a global analysis of multilingualism in science. Using two major bibliometric databases (OpenAlex and Dimensions), we provide a large-scale analysis of linguistic diversity in science, considering both the language of publications (N = 87,577,942) and of cited references (N = 1,480,570,087). For the 1990–2023 period, we find that only Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish have expanded at a faster pace than English. Country-level analyses show that this trend is due to the growing strength of the Latin American and Indonesian academic circuits. Our results also confirm the same-language preference phenomenon (particularly for languages other than English), the strong connection between multilingualism and bibliodiversity, and that social sciences and humanities are the least English-dominated fields. Our findings suggest that policies recognizing the value of both national-language and English-language publications have had a concrete impact on the distribution of languages in the global field of scholarly communication.
