Project title:

“[This project is] an empirical project that investigates experiences of, and perspectives on, race and racism at the University of Roehampton.”
Researcher:
Prof Mark McCormack
Project proposal:
Funding will support an empirical project that investigates experiences of, and perspectives on, race and racism at the University of Roehampton. The university is actively seeking to address issues of race, including by its ‘decolonise the curriculum’ programme and RAFA2 project, yet communication about and action on these issues remains difficult. This research project will address this issue by working with students and staff in the departments of Education and Social Sciences in focus groups to develop a shared understanding of the issues involved and develop grounded solutions to the problems.
