Oxford University has repeatedly failed to tackle the systemic racism at the heart of the institution. Alongside other student groups, community activists, and academics, we have written an open letter calling for long overdue change.

I’m visiting @PorchDayCentre as @OxfordCity’s representative to the board. It’s good to see Kizzie & team after so long and Nicola in action making jam and marmalade to raise funds for The Porch’s excellent and vital work supporting people experiencing #homelessness in our city.

1 weekly shop for a family of 4 would typically cost around £30 - £50. A #FoodParcel, designed to last a family of 4 in #Oxford for a week, costs around £15. Could you donate that that to us? buff.ly/2C5PVyx

Over 120 current & former Oxford English students have signed a letter to the faculty demanding meaningful action on the Andy Orchard allegations & a review of its procedures. The letter is clear & articulate and they should never have had to write it

In the 6 podcasts, women say complaints processes are confusing, traumatic & hostile.
Multiple cases aren’t heard together. Individual events are dismissed as he-said-she-said. Delays of months even years mean women must live and work alongside men they accuse of abuse.

Prof Peter Thompson is an Oxford history professor. “You know that feeling when there’s a dangerous man in the room,” a former student told @AJIunit.
Despite complaints from staff and students of sexual harassment and drinking being upheld, he’s still teaching.

Common Ground Oxford retweeted
A two-year investigation by @AJIUnit reveals how British universities are failing to protect students from sexual harassment by their lecturers, allowing them to carry on teaching even where there are multiple complaints over many years.

I’m proud of the work of the independent Commission of Inquiry into #CecilRhodes statue “This response is amateurish, disappointing, and disrespectful. The fact this is also happening at the start of #BlackHistoryMonth adds further hurt and disappointment”

Had the privilege of being a discussant on a panel @CommonGroundOx’s Decolonising the Curriculum conference last year with @littlegaudy. Look forward to listening and putting this on my syllabi!
The latest episode of Empire Museum with @littlegaudy is available to stream now. We discuss the history and legacies of 19th-century scientific racism. Subhadra was as wonderful and elegant as ever. Enjoy!

'Let's not pretend that they've had an easy ride being anti-racist.
'The media has gone for them. Politicians have gone for them.
'But they've stood their ground & they've created an inclusive vibe.'
