In this week's Black World News, Kehinde discusses the
murder charge of the police officer who killed Chris Kaba.
-
In this week's interview, Kehinde talks with Professor Nicola
Rollock about the under-representation of Black women at the
post-graduate and professorial level, why they’re not optimistic
about change in their field, the question of White antiracist
allyship, her new book The Racial Code, and Nicola’s top three
things to address racial issues.
Professor Nicola Rollock is a Professor of Social Policy & Race at
King’s College London, a Distinguished Fellow at the Faculty of
Education at the University of Cambridge, and also runs her own
consultancy business. She helps people think critically about
how they understand racial justice and, as a result, implement
better strategies for change. She is also the author of “The Racial
Code: Tales of Resistance and Survival” (2022), released in
paperback form this week, where she makes a case for everyday and
more subtle forms of racism.
