Popis: Following her appointment as Bristol University’s first Professor of the History of Slavery, Otele, the first Black female professor of history in the UK, converses with Thomas to narrate the role of the history of colonialism in promoting and maintaining structural inequalities in higher education institutions. Otele debunks the established ideologies of academic disciplines based on methodological and ontological notions of “whiteness” as neutral and invisible, before sharing her perspectives on how higher education as a sector could provide reparations to people who were most affected by the legacies of this slave trade that has now promoted structural inequalities in the academy.
