Our Vision

Leading Routes is a pioneering initiative that aims to prepare the next generation of Black academics. We are exploring new ways to strengthen the academic pipeline for black students, from a black-led perspective.

We aim to focus our work on gaps in the sector and look forward to welcoming more people, at all stages of their academic experience or career, to our growing community.
