➤ Abstract
The second panel discussion in our Racial Equality Panel Series will take place on the 24th of June, at 6pm, and will focus on "Racism across the Diaspora: Personal Narratives from South Africa, USA & UK".
This panel discussion aims to create a space for personal narratives of racism to be shared, relating these experiences to the wider racial politics and history of the UK, USA, and South Africa. As three states with distinct racial histories, this panel intends to shine a personal light on the impact of historical and political racism that pervades the lives of BIPOC. Focussing on these three countries will provide a foundation for a comparative case study on the lived realities of racism. As part of a series that aims to highlight the multi-faceted and layered dimensions of racism, we are excited about this challenging, engaging, and important discussion.
