The Annual Equality Lecture: Social justice, exclusion and white privilege in universities by The British Library published on 2018-12-13T12:02:19Z The eighth annual equality lecture was delivered by Kalwant Bhopal (Professor of Education and Social Justice, University of Birmingham) at the British Library on 25 October 2018. Her lecture examined recent evidence on the representation of BME staff and students in higher education to explore how racism, exclusion and marginalisation continue to disadvantage these groups. Professor Bhopal used empirical research which explored BME academic flight from higher education to suggest ways forward for the inclusion of BME focusing on issues of equity and social justice. She examined how white privilege works to disadvantage those from BME backgrounds and will explore how universities can develop good practice for the inclusion of BME groups in higher education.
