This Black History Month we are hosting a talk which invites and challenges us to consider Higher Education through a racial lens.

Hosted by Natalia-Nana Lester-Bush, this lecture will offer a considered critique of how race and racism interact with some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities of the Higher Education experience.

We will explore why, in a time of mass economic and educational crisis, race is the issue University staff, students and members of the wider Oxford community should be engaging with, and how white colleagues can – and should – be empowered and motivated to lead as allies to contribute to understanding and addressing the complex challenges the sector faces.
