• Increase participants understanding of race and racism,
• Build participants confidence to sensitively discuss race and racism,
• Provide participants with the tools to identify and challenge structural racism and become an anti-racist ally.

Originally developed and delivered by colleagues in Estates & Facilities, Disrupting Racism is a supportive programme suitable for all academic, research and professional services staff at King’s, regardless of grade.

Participants must commit to attending all live sessions, and completing the self-directed study outlined.
