Liberation Rep

Part-time Voluntary Alongside your studies

Every Queen Mary student deserves to feel seen, heard and valued for who they are, and the Liberation Representative plays a big role in achieving that. In this role, you’ll be the voice of all students that are part of one or more liberation groups. You’ll work closely with members of the liberation groups to gather feedback and make sure their voices are heard within the SU and the University.

Who can run? All Queen Mary students that are part of at least one liberation group (students of African, Asian, Caribbean, Arab, Latin American or Pacific descent; students that have a disability and/or a specific learning difference; LGBTQ+ students; women students) can run. The only requirements are that you must be a student in the academic year 2026/27 and be part of a liberation group. When you nominate, make sure to tick the box to self-identify as part of a liberation group.
