This webinar launches the Rural Racism Project series by exploring how racism is experienced, expressed, and navigated by minoritised individuals in rural England, and suggests ways of creating a more inclusive countryside.
Drawing from 115 semi-structured interviews and numerous informal conversations with minoritised individuals, White rural residents and White allies actively engaged in anti-racist work across England, this session will:
- discuss how racism is experienced and what are the impacts,
- explore attitudes of white rural residents towards diversity and inclusion,
- highlight good practice examples of anti-racism in rural communities and suggest ways of creating a more inclusive countryside.
This event will include:
- A short presentation of key findings by Dr Rachel Keighley
- A panel discussion led by Dr Amy Clarke and Dr Rachel Keighley, featuring Dr Tahaney Alghrani and Rae Preston, both research participants
- An open Q&A session with all attendees
Who should attend:
This webinar is open to community members, rural organisations, practitioners, educators, researchers, and anyone interested in tackling racism and promoting inclusion in rural areas.
Registration is required.
Join us to better understand the challenges of anti-racism in the countryside- and to be part of the conversation about how we move forward.
