Dear all,I'd like to advertise two events running at SOAS which you may find of interest:Racialised Biases in Higher EducationThis is an interactive workshop, which combines the frameworks of Unconscious Bias (psychological) and Critical Race Theory (sociological) to raise awareness of colleagues from across the sector, who may have limited knowledge of the issues of ‘race’ equality and unconscious bias in higher education, and to help them think about how individuals and institutions can start to address some of these issues.5th April 20199.00am-12.30 pmSOASsign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/racialised-biases-in-higher-education-tickets-58374165701Navigating toward success – ‘race’ and racism in postgraduate educationThis interactive seminar will report on the findings from a research project exploring the experiences of 'home' Black and Asian students in postgraduate (PG) education, with a particular attention paid to STEM fields. We will look at the policies, practices and discourses which are othering students of colour in PG education, as well as the range of capitals (resources) that these students have at their disposal in order to navigate towards success. The research contributes to a better understanding of the systemic barriers in higher education for and the sources of agency of students of colour in postgraduate education.15th April 20191.00pm - 3.00pmSOASsign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/navigating-toward-success-race-and-racism-in-postgraduate-education-tickets-58378307088All the best,DomDom Jackson-Cole
