By Meghan Tinsley Filed Under: Ethnicity, Growth and Inclusion Posted: December 17, 2018

Dr Meghan Tinsley, a Presidential Fellow in Ethnicity and Inequalities, reflects on the four years of the First World War centenary, asking to what extent collective memory of the war remains white and Eurocentric.

Dr Karis Campion discusses the responsibility universities have in creating honest conversations on their […]

Lost in translation? Rap music and racial bias in the courtroom

Eithne Quinn By Eithne Quinn Filed Under: All posts, Ethnicity Posted: October 4, 2018

This year has seen heightened controversy over the relationship between rap music and youth violence in urban areas, especially London. ‘Drill’ – a type of gangsta rap known for striking a pose of menace and alienation, set to sparse yet catchy minor-keyed beats – has replaced ‘grime’ as the main focus for concern and condemnation.  […]

Recent research identifies possibilities for intervention and political change which involves both reframing the problem of ‘cohesion’ and expanding its scope. For a number of years there has been growing interest in the disadvantage experienced by ‘poor white British’ communities. Over a decade since […]

By Dr Diane Harris and Maria Pampaka Filed Under: All posts Posted: July 19, 2018

Why it’s time to address workplace racism as a matter of health and safety

Stephen AsheJames Nazroo By Stephen Ashe and James Nazroo Filed Under: All posts, Ethnicity, Health and Social Care, Inclusive Growth Posted: April 19, 2018

Fifty years on from the UK’s first piece of legislation outlawing racial discrimination in employment, Stephen Ashe & James Nazroo look at what’s changed and whether racism in the workplace needs to be looked at in a different light.
