Avoid photocopying the past: revisited

On 9 December 2021 we held our second online seminar of the year - Avoid photocopying the past: revisited. 

Following on from our successful 2020 seminar series, this event highlighted how Higher Education Institutions can reduce inequitable outcomes for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students, with a practical focus on solutions in actions.

The seminar linked in to a special edition of the Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning journal, consisting of an editorial review of the journal and three presentations of journal articles.  There was an opportunity to network with professionals from across the sector in facilitated sessions.
