There are many people in and across the University who are driving change. In this special changemaker podcast series we shine a light on some of our Black academics and the excellent work they are doing in the university and outside to help drive change.
In this episode, Xavier talks to Ann de Graft-Johnson about her career and how she is driving change. Ann is Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Planning at UWE Bristol and is heavily involved with UWE Bristol’s anti-racism work.
