Let’s talk about race and racism

Racism, racial injustice and racial inequalities exist in our everyday lives and in wider society; they also exist within higher education and within our University. Racism must be fought by everyone.

We've gathered together information and resources to help all of us better understand what it is like to experience racism, how to support those who experience racism and what we can do to combat it.
