Join us at Westminster Conversations for open honest discussions on combating racisms, embracing difference, and exploring commonalities.
Welcome to Westminster Conversations: Challenging Racism Conference! Join us for a day of insightful discussions and engaging conversations on combating racism.
Our overarching theme this year is "The universals of identity: 'Sameness and difference' ".
This full-day event brings together academics, practitioners, and activists to critically discuss racism, identity, intersectionality, and structural inequalities within and beyond academia.
This year’s keynote will be delivered by Professor David Mba, Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham City University, followed by engaging sessions exploring themes such as race, gender, faith, ableism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia. External speakers include Dr Shabna Begum (Runnymede Trust), Rabbi Gavin Broder, Professor Rosa Freedman, Dr Maisha Islam, Dr Zahira Jaser, Nova Reid, and Rabbi Michael Pollak.
The day features panel discussions, interactive workshops, and a scenario-based session addressing race and ableism in the workplace and educational settings. This conference aims to foster a dialogue and learning space while generating practical outcomes for anti-racist practice.
Organised by Dr Deborah Husbands, Professor Dibyesh Anand, and Professor Peter Bonfield, the conference is open to all who are committed to equity, inclusion, and social justice.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the change and contribute to a more inclusive society.
