White Academy. 06 June 2017

See for more details:
‘The introduction of the Race Equality Charter Mark caused universities
across the UK to reflect upon their collusion in the reproduction of race
inequality in higher education. In response, universities are attempting to
find ways to tackle their own racist practices. But to what extent do the
academic staff tasked with addressing these issues truly understand the
deep-rooted nature of racism in the academy and the effects this has on
ethnic minority students’ experiences of higher education? Universities must
go beyond simple 'speech acts' as they promote their commitment to
'diversity'. It is not enough to merely recognise the presence of Black and
ethnic minority students. Meaningful solutions to historical yet pervasive
issues of race equality can only be found once the problems at hand are
truly understood.
This postgraduate event unpacks embedded structures and practices of higher
education which work to produce and maintain racial inequality. Speakers
will address these problematics whilst reflecting on their own experiences
as 'successful' academics of colour and offer advice for how students of
colour can 'survive' in these institutions.’
