Dear all, I'd like to advertise two events running at SOAS which you may find of interest: *Racialised Biases in Higher Education* This 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 2019* *9.00am-12.30 pm* *SOAS* sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/racialised-biases-in-higher-education-tickets-58374165701 *Navigating toward success – ‘race’ and racism in postgraduate education* This 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 2019 * *1.00pm - 3.00pm* *SOAS* sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/navigating-toward-success-race-and-racism-in-postgraduate-education-tickets-58378307088 All the best, Dom *Dom Jackson-Cole Equality and Diversity Adviser* SOAS University of London Telephone number: 0 207 898 4201 Internal calls: 4201 Room FB01 | https://www.soas.ac.uk/equalitydiversity/ <https://www.soas.ac.uk/equalitydiversity/> One of the world's leading institutions for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East *Did you know that SOAS staff are only a phone call away from independent advice, information and support that is completely confidential?
