Towards a network for black studies in education at UWE ECRG

Richards, Malcolm

Abstract

Black studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that primarily focuses on the study of the history, culture, and politics of the peoples of the African diaspora and Africa and extends knowledge and experiences to include contributions as dynamic as ancient African histories to world civilisations. There remains growing frustration over the absence of black studies across the UK higher education sector, citing significant concerns that broader range of knowledges is excluded from the academy, which counters initiatives which respond to the disproportionate outcomes for marginalised student and staff communities. Led by Malcolm Richards (Senior Lecturer in Education) and facilitated through UWE New Starter Research Scheme (2023-2026), this project seeks to establish a Network for Black Studies in Education research across Britain with UWE.
