Time: 6:30 - 8:00pm
The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities in Britain published its controversial and widely criticised report on structural inequalities earlier this year. The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think-tank in conjunction with Race on the Agenda (ROTA) and the Race Equality Foundation (REF) also recently published a collection of papers in the journal Progressive Review that offer an alternative analysis of structural and institutional racism in the UK.This event explored different perspectives and contributions to the debate about structural and institutional racism in the UK. It used the IPPR/ROTA/REF collection as a starting point to consider the limitations of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities and the analysis it promoted.Panel:• Dr Sadiya Akram – Lecturer in Political Theory, Manchester Metropolitan University.• Dr Vanessa Apea - Consultant Physician in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at Queen Mary University of London.
