Founder of the educational consultancy Representation Matters, Aisha Thomas is known for her work addressing race equity in education, including presenting a BBC documentary on the lack of Black teachers in Bristol schools and helping to develop the One Bristol Curriculum, which promotes more equitable representation of Black history, achievement and culture in the city and beyond.

This session offers a valuable opportunity to hear Aisha’s experiences, explore anti-racist practice in higher education, and take part in meaningful discussion with colleagues from across Cardiff Met.

The Anti-Racism in Learning, Teaching & Leadership CoP brings together staff who are interested in advancing race equity across the University. Rooted in the work of DARPL (Diversity and Anti-Racism in Professional Learning) and Cardiff Met’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist learning organisation, the CoP provides a space for colleagues to develop critical consciousness, racial literacy, and ethical leadership.

Whether you’re already involved in this work or looking to learn more, all Cardiff Met staff are welcome to attend.
