ANNUAL RACE EQUALITY LECTURE

Race and Merit: Dismantling Myths

22 October | 5.30 – 7.00pm | Palmerston Room, St John’s College

The keynote speaker Baroness Valerie Amos, Director of SOAS University of London will explore these topics looking at how our perceptions of “merit” influence and impact our understanding of discrimination and prejudice.
