At Homerton, the College Discrimination and Harassment Contacts (CDHCs) are in place to offer confidential support to students who may have experienced or currently be experiencing any form of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct.
The CDHCs are able to signpost students to immediate and long term welfare support, as well as discussing reporting systems available to those who choose to report the incident(s).
You can also report an incident(s) using the College Harassment Report Form. Contents of your report will be sent to the cdhc@homerton.cam.ac.uk email address. You can also email the CDHC team at cdhc@homerton.cam.ac.uk

Dr Junius Oliver
Junius’s academic journey has been both profound and enriching. He embarked on this path at the University of the West Indies, where he pursued undergraduate and master's degrees in economics, laying a solid foundation for his future endeavours. His passion for understanding the challenges of economic development led him to the University of York, where he earned his PhD. His research there delved into the colonial origins of economic underperformance in post-colonial countries of the former British West Indies, a topic that not only stimulated his intellectual curiosity but also held deep personal significance. Upon completing his PhD, he joined the London School of Economics as an Undergraduate Tutor, a role that allowed him to share his knowledge and insights with the next generation of economists. His journey has now brought him to an exciting new chapter at Homerton College, where he serves as the Deputy Senior Tutor. His extensive experience as a tutor and work with students and staff who have experienced discrimination and harassment will invaluable in helping to resolve issues of Harassment and Discrimination at Homerton College.
