Our newest episode of Queer Peers is now live!

We are excited to bring our community another episode of Queer Peers after the successful launch of the podcast last month. 🌟

In this episode, UAL Halls Life student wellbeing coordinator and podcast host Marco Bodi (he/him) sat down with Madhurima Kumar (she/her) to chat about all things queer as international students. 

Born in Mumbai, Madhurima moved to the UK to study an MA Design for Art Design at UAL and is now working as a halls committee administrator in the UAL Halls Life team.

Both Marco and Madhurima are now UAL graduates, so on this podcast, they shared their own experiences on being queer in another country and how moving to London and joining UAL changed their perspective.

Take a listen to this episode as you get to know Madhurima and her life abroad as a part of the LBGTQ+ community at UAL and in London. 🌈🌍 

All views of the podcast are of that of the individual and may not be representative of everyone's experiences, we aim to support all students and want to improve all students experiences where we can, this is the reason for the podcast.

We look forward to bringing this podcast to your ears every month to share and celebrate different voices from within our LGBTQ+ community. 🗣️

If you are an LGBTQ+ student or ally at UAL and want to get involved with the podcast or have a story you wish to share that could support students and colleagues, please get in touch through our Queer Peers Interest Form. We can't wait to hear from you! ✍🏽

This podcast will promote freedom of speech but there will be no room for hate. We respect everyone’s journey is individual to them. This is about listening, understanding, and widening knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community and sensitive themes and topics centred around this in a safe setting. We want to create a space where everyone can live their authentic self at UAL without fear of judgement.
