A panel conversation hosted by the Centre for Black Studies in collaboration with the UoN Black History Month Programme Board, and with speakers from different university backgrounds to talk about the value of Black History Month, and the imperative to go beyond “representation months” in order to change the environment and conditions for staff and students of the future.

This event brought an interdisciplinary conversation to the role of Black History Month at the University of Nottingham and within the British university system. It discussed race, gender, class, geographic representation amongst other intersectional concerns, and gave space to interrogate the role of Black History Month and allow Black academics to reflect and imagine inclusive educational settings.
