Author, philosopher, social justice and human rights advocate-activist, educator and founder of The Center for the HumanSpirit and Radical Reimagining, Dr David W. Robinson-Morris, gave an address at this event, speaking about his work to radically reimagine diversity, equity, and inclusion toward racial justice and systemic transformation..

The University is participating in the Race Equality Charter (REC), a national recognition scheme that is designed to help dismantle barriers to racial justice in higher education and improve the representation, experiences, progression and success of staff and students from racially minoritised ethnic groups.
