Big Read: Week 1 | What university did for me
-
For our first Big Read Book Club seminar we look at the experience of attending university, and how it changed our speakers – and how they then found working on the other side of the fence as in one case an educator, and the other a university administrator.

Big Read: Week 2 | The importance of Immigration in staffing the NHS

Join us in exploring the invaluable role migrant workers (many of whom arrived that same year, aboard the Empire Windrush) played in building our National Health Service, and discussing the injustices faced by many of those essential healthcare workers in the years and decades that followed.

Big Read: Week 3 | How long should a community have to wait for justice?
-
In this seminar, Professor Wilson Muleya looks at the arrival of the Windrush and subsequent outcomes for what is now known as the Windrush Generation. Dr Pete Finn makes comparisons with other scandals that went on for far too long. What can we learn from society's initial reluctance to acknowledge a problem? What will make us more able to spot what's wrong and be more accepting of the need to do something about it?
