In my Postgraduate Year I was elected Photographer of Events for the Lancaster University Ethnic Diversity Committee and got to record and document all the events ranging from student debates to society socials. This was a rewarding experience that allowed me to highlight and promote debates that would cover key topics such as diversity in our current educational curriculum but also in the Arts; in one of our sessions we invited several students from the Institute of Performing Arts to discuss their perspective on how they think increased participation from all backgrounds and cultures would impact the industry as a whole. Encouraging this kind of discussion is something I really believe to be important.
