Discover a world of cultures: Diversity work as gendered racial governance in British immigration detention

The aim of this international seminar series is to create a critical forum for academic researchers, students, artists, campaigners and activists, and members of the public, to increase awareness and foster meaningful conversations regarding racisms, oppression, violence and injustice globally.

The series was well attended last year and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive and audience found it to be important, urgent and educative. We have therefore decided to continue into the current academic year and have planned series of events that include single topic talks and panels, running up until June 2023.
