This virtual panel discussion will be hosted by the Institute for the Study of Slavery (ISOS) and the Department of History and will explore the experiences of black academics in the UK.
A panel of five Black academics from a range of scholarly disciplines will discuss their personal experiences of learning and working at universities across the UK. More specifically, they will engage in a dialogue concerning their encounters with Black-centred research agendas, teaching and issues relating to the wider operation of universities. The speakers will also deliberate the types of changes that are most likely to create a more supportive environment in which Black members of staff and students can thrive.
Panel members:
- Dr. James Dawkins (Chair of the Panel Discussion and Research Fellow, University of Nottingham)
- Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey (Founder & Managing Director of Element of Inclusion)
- Dr. Meleisa Ono-George (Associate Professor and Director of Student Experience, University of Warwick)
- Toyin Agbetu (Founder of Ligali, PhD Research Candidate, University College London)
- Lisa Robinson (Director of bright Ideas, PhD Research Candidate, University of Nottingham)
All are welcome and admission is free.
