Race Equality and Inclusive Leadership

Format: Online using MS Teams

Delivered by Professor Kalwant Bhopal from University of Birmingham, this session will examine the key principles of the race equality charter and how best practice in leadership can be used in relation to an inclusive and social justice agenda. It will draw on empirical research to explore how work on race equality charter is carried out in universities and the impact it has on policy, practice and pedagogy.

The session will further examine how university leaders can change their own practices to ensure that students, staff and the university community can be part of an inclusive agenda in relation to the Race Equality Charter.
