Ï㽶ÊÓƵ

The Anti-Racism Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Group provides the opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss, study and tackle racial inequality and oppressive practices.

As a research group, we are interested in fostering and supporting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work that is explicitly committed to social justice.

By aiming to provide resources and guidance on research-led policy innovations that focus on fighting racism and promoting anti-racist initiatives, we engender reflexive, creative and critical practices that hold institutions to account, while building anti-colonial alternatives and possibilities.

Recent projects

Examples of recent and current research projects include:
