The BIPOC Department is an autonomous student-led group that provides a community of support and solidarity for all BIPOC students at the ANU. From publishing the annual Racism Report and campaigning for BIPOC wellbeing, we also organise social events like our weekly coffee catchups ‘Chai & Chats’ and our fortnightly discussion circles ‘BIPOC Talks’. Keep an eye on our socials for information about meetings and events!
BIPOC stands for Bla(c)k, Indigenous, People of Colour. This definition includes but is not strictly limited to mixed-race or bi-racial people and people who are white-passing or have a proximity to whiteness (i.e. are perceived to be white due to skin colour and other identifying features).

**‘Autonomous’: if you see an event labeled as this, then it means it’s only open to those who identify as part of our collective.
**‘Non-autonomous’: some events will be open to all, regardless of whether you identify as BIPOC or not!
