Join us for another key event in our ‘Activism month’ where we welcome Lisa Shoko, the Founder of Lisa Shoko Racial Equity Consulting, a start-up delivering anti-racist workshops. Lisa was also a key member of the Decolonise UoK and Afro-Diasporic Legal Network at the University of Kent.
This event will offer an insight into the challenges, experiences, and reflections of a Black woman and a student activist in a Higher Education Institution. She will discuss the demands that came out of the Decolonise UoK and Afro-Diasporic Legal Network (UoK) Manifestos as well as introducing her thesis on 'Searching for Belonging: Institutional Racism and the “Silent Crisis” in Higher Education’. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
Once you sign up, the link to the event will be sent to you closer to the date.
