Black Lives Matter @UU: Creating Change

EDI Annual Review 2019-2020

Icon Black Lives Matter

Prompted by the Black Lives Matter movement, we have initiated a series of events to launch the debate about an inclusive university, where everyone can feel safe and welcome. The first meeting was organised together with University College Utrecht on the theme of ‘Black Lives Matter in Europe’, in which Gary Younge, Professor of Sociology, was the speaker. The guest at the second meeting was Stephen Small, Professor of the Dutch History of Slavery and its Legacy, who addressed the role of higher education in excluding or including minorities.
