Student Movements & Campaigns

Africa Society

The Oxford University Africa Society (AfricSoc) focuses on African affairs at the University of Oxford. The Society seeks to set the agenda for the future of the African Continent by providing a platform for students hailing from or interested in Africa to critically engage. Above all, AfriSoc is a community of change agents passionate about Africa.

Alternative Curricula

In this group, we try to supplement the Eurocentricity of our school and university curricula by focusing on writers from the Majority World (i.e., not Europe and North America), and writers who identify as Black and/or as people of colour.

Common Ground

Common Ground is a student-movement that sets out to examine Oxford University’s colonial past in the context of present-day racism and classism. We do not want to ‘erase’ Oxford’s imperial legacy, we cannot.

CRAE (Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality)

Improve the Oxford experience. Build community, celebrate racial diversity, and inspire change.

One of Oxford SU's permanent campaigns, the Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality (CRAE) is the only group at Oxford dedicated to creating a more just and inclusive student experience at the University through action and engagement with racial diversity and difference.

Divest, Disarm, Decolonise

Oxford Climate Justice Campaign, Demilitarise Oxford, and Free Education Oxford. We dare to imagine our educational institution banking on a livable planet and a just, decolonised world.

Rhodes Must Fall

A movement determined to decolonise the space, the curriculum, and the institutional memory at, and to fight intersectional oppression within, Oxford.
