One Vision: Collectively Dismantling Racism in Higher Education
Durham University's Annual Race Equality Lecture delivered by Dr Jason Arday, followed by conversation with Dr Tyler Denmead and Tyra Amofah-Akardom (University of Cambridge)
"The cyclical nature of racism means it is enduring and omnipresent. It is interwoven in our institutionally racist fabric and throughout the Academy. The events of the last few months reflect a seminal moment in race relations history which has provided a collective moment of reflection, resulting in a challenging of whiteness and the power and privilege that accompanies this at the expense of Black and minority ethnic communities throughout society’s major institutions. " Dr Jason Arday.
