Why is my professor still not black?

For the 2013-14 academic year there were 100 Black professors and of these only 20 were women, so it is absolutely not the case that Black women benefit from gender equality initiatives like Athena Swan. To the contrary, such initiatives are largely created for and benefit white women. Intersectional experiences such as race, gender and class are ignored. Our Black Sister Network project aims to extend understanding on how women of colour survive and thrive in British academia. http://blacksisternetwork.blackbritishacademics.co.uk/projects/women-academics-of-colour/

Why doesn't the Times Higher EVER register the reality of the MA Black British Writing (the first research degree in the field in the world) especially as it is in its second year of being offered at Goldsmiths, University of London? This positive inroad is continually ignored in all media... WHY????? www.gold.ac.uk/pg/ma-black-british-writing Follow us on Twitter BlackWriteGold
