“Ally-ship” is a term and label that has often been used with equality and diversity movements (e.g. LGBTQI+ networks and events). However, when it comes to the conversation of Black lives and transforming race equality in institutions, like higher education, this is a novel concept.
This event is an open space to discuss the “allyship” label and consider the following questions:
1) What does “allyship” mean to Black and ethnic minority staff and students in higher education?
2) Is “allyship” the right term?
3) What characteristics and behaviours does a good race equality “ally” practise?
I encourage all staff and students to engage in this conversation and to start a meaningful dialogue with the group. The aim of the event is to create a space outside of oppressive university structures, and nurture innovation and systems thinking.
