Bringing into sharp focus the lack of Black women in academia, Dr Nicola Rollock is in conversation with journalist Liv Little in a streamed event.
Dr Rollock, one of the UK's leading academics on racial justice in education and the workplace, discusses her project Phenomenal Women: Portraits of UK Black Female Professors: an exhibition now on across our site.
