He told attendees: \u201cBlack History Month is important for the University, but all 12 months of the year we should be celebrating BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) staff and students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We should be active in dealing with discrimination and provide a platform for all voices to be heard.\u201d His words echoed the sentiment of The University of Manchester\u2019s BAME Network: <em>Because race equality benefits us all.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Next to speak was Professor Paul Mativenga, Vice Dean for Social Responsibility. \u201cLook backwards at our [University\u2019s] heritage; we hired the first Black professor in the UK\u2026 We have a rich heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was, of course, referring to W Arthur Lewis <em>(pictured)<\/em>, the Saint Lucian economist who\u00a0began lecturing at Victoria University of Manchester in 1948.

Georgina Lewis and Berrisford Edwards, Co-Chairs of the BAME staff network, told attendees the goal of the network is to keep challenging the University. Georgina said: \u201cIt\u2019s important to contribute to making a positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to figures presented by Georgina and Berrisford, the network\u2019s next goal is for the total number of BAME academics in the position of Senior Lecturer or above to reach 16%. It\u2019s currently 10%. They are also working for the total percentage of BAME staff at the University in a Grade 6 position or above to reach 11% (it\u2019s currently 7%).<\/p>\n<p>Next up was Diversity Officer for the Students\u2019 Union \u2013 and the only international student to currently sit on the SU Executive \u2013 Riddi Viswanathan. She told attendees that her job is to support students regardless of their background.<\/p>\n<p>Riddi noted that BAME students \u2013 and particularly international students &#8211; are underrepresented throughout the Student Union, which was something she wanted to address when she took up her position. She now organises events specifically for international students, and revealed: \u201cComing to the UK inspired me to be who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cI cannot be away from my culture\u201d<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-713 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/10\/BHM-event-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/10\/BHM-event-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/10\/BHM-event-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2017\/10\/BHM-event-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next to speak was Joanne Jacobs, Directorate for the Student Experience, who was joined by three students from the Equity and Merit Programme.
