This book critically examines the experiences of racism encountered by
academics of colour working within British universities. Situated within
a critical race theory and postcolonial feminist framework, Sian
thoughtfully centres the voices of the interviewed academics, and draws
upon her own experiences and reflections through a critical
auto-ethnography.
Navigating Institutional Racism in British Universities unpacks a
range of complex and challenging questions, and engages with the way in
which racial politics in the academy interplay and intersect with
gender. The book presents a textured narrative around the various
barriers facing academics of colour, and enhances understandings of
experiences around institutional racism in British universities.
Alongside its conceptual and empirical contribution, it develops a
series of practical recommendations to encourage and facilitate the
active participation of academics of colour in British universities.
