Ending Racism in Science is Everyone’s Business

This Sunday Assembly, we welcome Chris Jackson, Technical Director at the global engineering firm WSP, Visiting Professor at Imperial College London, and an internationally recognised geologist whose work explores how we can safely and sustainably use the Earth’s subsurface to access critical resources and store hazardous waste.

Science shapes almost every part of our lives, from the technologies we use to the resources we depend on - yet many scientific spaces still remain shaped by exclusion and racism. Drawing on personal experiences from his own career alongside a wider look at the culture of science, Chris reflects on why representation matters, what is lost when voices are excluded, and what it might take to build a more open, inclusive and human scientific community.

Sunday Assembly London is your regular and reliable stop for a welcoming, accessible and inspiring Sunday community, where you can hear talks and poetry, sing songs and make new friends.

Stay after for tea, biscuits, and chat in the Backyard Comedy Club. Then join us for a local meal, picnic, or a drink and board games at the pub.
