Marginalised Genders Officer

I’m James, a first year combined honours student, studying music and classics. If I were elected to this role, my main aim would be to increase discourse between different faiths and beliefs, and also to create spaces where people feel comfortable sharing their faiths and beliefs in a welcoming area.

I would also be interested in increasing awareness of different faiths and beliefs by having public lectures regarding different faiths, which would not only increase students’ acceptance of different beliefs, but also improve their general education.

(he/him)

I have been a member of various councils, including the Bishop of Durham’s council, which I feel gives me the requisite experience in creating and enacting faith-based policy to be able to fulfil this role. My main hope and goal, should I be elected, is that no student at Newcastle feels that they are unable to express or practice their faith and beliefs. Everything I would do in this role shall be to that end.
