'What will your anti-racist university look like?' in Times Higher Education
How is your institution enabling Black, Asian and minority ethnic staff and students to thrive? Is your institution effectively tackling racism?
Following the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, the higher education sector has started making bold commitments to dismantling structural racism. However, big questions remain about how higher education can combat institutional racism and achieve real change.
This book disrupts the higher education sector through ambitious actions and collective, participatory and evidence-informed responses to racism. It offers a roadmap for senior leaders, staff and students to build strategies, programmes and interventions that effectively tackle racism.
Arising from current staff and recent student experiences, this book supports institutions driving equality, diversity, inclusion and intersectional programmes in higher education.
“Presents complex, deep-rooted problems but surprisingly the solutions can be quite simple! This book, while drawing attention to the immense challenge of anti-racism, is full of hope that a more equitable and fairer system is possible.” Gurnam Singh, Coventry University
“This edited collection draws together the voices of racially minoritised activists, scholars, students and professional staff to ultimately pose a series of important, challenging questions to a sector still coming to grips with the true extent of racial inequity and its impact on our success.” Nicola Rollock, King's College London
Arun Verma is a leader in integrating intersectionality and race equality action in design and development throughout the higher education, third and public sectors both nationally and globally.
