Good morning to one and all!
I am forwarding this invite to you because I think that this is a good initiative, and a place where we - the BME academics/researchers could raise our concerns. I hope that some of you will consider to come along to the seminar to address your concerns and to advise measures to accessing space and widening participation of the BME academics in higher eduction in the UK.
Hope to see some of you at LSE.
In the meantime, have a good weekend.
Rumana
