UCL History First Generation Network

@UCLHistory | A network for first-generation university students studying history at UCL

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

Too many poorer students feel they don't fit in at university, but working-class academics can help … if they're hired in the first place.

(THREAD) Earlier this year, 4 of our wonderful staff shared their unique and personal routes to becoming historians, to show that there is no single right way! Induction week, with young historians at the start of their own journeys, seems like the right time to share again...

Do follow @HistoryFirstGen to connect with fellow first generation UCL historians. In 2014 I was the first from my family to go to university and had little idea what to expect. Six years on, I’m still studying and eager to learn more. University is a life-changing experience.

@NicholasGLeah Thank you, Nicholas! It truly is a life-changing experience.
