Meet our Equity Lead (LGBTQ+), Ki Hng.

I joined Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ as a super resolution light microscopist in early 2017. ÌýOutside of Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾, I am a voracious volunteer and an aspiring activist. ÌýI currently have positions at the Vagina Museum, and I was on the board of trustees of Switchboard, the LGBT+ helpline. Ìý

As the LGBTQ+ Lead, I bring lived experienceÌýof discrimination and marginalisation to the role. ÌýA good understanding of intersectionality is key to improving equality, diversity and inclusion throughout Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾. ÌýImproving EDI isn’t just about statistics and representation, but about ensuring the work environment feels safe and inclusive for people who may not feel comfortable working or studying in Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ otherwise. ÌýLGBTQ+ people face many challenges just existing in this world. ÌýI would like to help ensure that their working/studying environments are safe and inclusive, and I look forward to working with the EDI team to work towards that goal.Ìý
