In this episode, Josh and Shuhan are joined by Blessing Simeon (English at UCL), Jessica Sultan (Philosophy, Politics & Economics at UCL), and Ikaay Ebi (Arts & Sciences at UCL). Three black academics and friends of ours to discuss the recent Black Lives Matter protests that took place during the coronavirus pandemic after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. We explore racism in UK academia, racism in the UK, allyship, colonialism, institutional racism, and more.
