Post pandemic and two years on from Black Lives Matter, how is the university acknowledging racism and working towards inclusivity and change?
Join our Chancellor, Baroness Young of Hornsey OBE, and our diverse panel of university staff, students and alumni who will explore the systemic issues around racism and share their lived experiences of moving towards anti-racism.
