Birkbeck Geography in collaboration with the Transatlantic Roundtable on Religion and Race and Decolonising the Curriculum at Birkbeck invite you to a panel discussion on institutionalised racism in Britain in the wake of Meghan Markle’s recent exit from these shores. Join us as four Black academics at the cutting edge of analysis on issues of race, gender, religion, culture and education, look beyond the superficial media debates to engage in a dialogue about the structural nature of racialised inequality in Britain and what the ‘Meghan effect’ tells us about its resurgence in 21st Century Britain.
