Rights
and Equality West Midlands and the Centre for the Study of
Ethnicity and Culture, University of Birmingham, are pleased
to announce the third series of lunch-time seminars on the
theory and practice of race and ethnic relations, and more
general equality issues.
The
seminars are designed to bring academic researchers together
with community practitioners to explore how each might
contribute to the other’s work.
Practitioners will alert researchers to the emerging issues
that they have to deal with in the course of their daily
work, while researchers will provide theoretical insight,
critical distancing, and up-to-date evidence to inform
policy and practice.
Each
seminar will last for a one-and-a-half hour lunch break with
an expert input of up to half that time and the rest
dedicated to discussion. Light refreshment will be supplied
to encourage the exchange of ideas.
The
series is aimed at race equality and diversity officers in
the public or voluntary and community sectors, undergraduate
and postgraduate students of social science, social policy
or law, and members of the public with a knowledge of, and
interest in, equality issues.
In
addition, Rights and Equality West Midlands offers a free
introductory/induction course for persons newly employed or
seeking employment in local race equality work. Contact
Freda on 0121 250 3863 for further details.
