Supporting Students of Colour
UAL’s Fellow in Race and Education, Dr Gurnam Singh has produced a 6-point guide to help us understand more about the disproportionate impact the Covid-19 crisis is having on Black, Asian and other Minority Ethnic students.
The guide goes into detail on issues of financial hardship, health inequality, the digital divide, racial harassment and hate, unconscious bias and sense of belonging, and includes helpful advice on supporting students regarding each issue.
You can read the guide on Shades of Noir, and you can also hear Gurnam talking about this as part of a Coventry University podcast on Supporting BAME Students.
