ARE YOU AN AGENT OF CHANGE? JOIN OUR ONLINE ANTI - RACIST PEDAGOGY WORKSHOP THAT WILL GIVE YOUR WORKSPACE THE TOOLS IT NEEDS TO EVOLVE
Has your voice felt missing? Your efforts unseen?
Or are you making others invisible?
How do we make these spaces of trade and commerce and academia more inclusive? Professor Karl O’Brian Williams has designed a series of workshops and interventions to disrupt the status quo. These workshops look at how we can decolonise the workspace using anti-racist theatre and actionable strategies that interrogate Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.
Together we will explore ways of achieving our ultimate goal of liberation! Let's get to work!
