Great morning sessions, thank you everyone. The concept of positive relationships underpinning a collaborative working union is something that, I would imagine, applies to most students engaging in programmes across disciplines. #Praxis2025 #FestivalOfScholarship

Becoming #Anti-Racist

Anti-racist picture.

Powerful keynote by Syra Shakir at #Praxis2025 — a timely and necessary reminder that being anti-racist means action, accountability, and care.

🖤 “Not being racist is not enough.”
