114: University of Chichester Suspends Black History Masters Course

You might be just as shocked as we are to find out that The University of Chichester have stopped enrolment onto The History of Africa and the African Diaspora MRes (Masters of Research) and Professor Hakim Adi who worked tirelessly to build the course has been told his post is at risk of termination. This is disgusting behaviour by the University of Chichester and action is urgent to re-open enrolment and safeguard this course and Professor Adi’s post. In this episode we speak to Professor Adi and hear from present and former students (Hannah Francis, Aleja Taddesse, Danny Thompson & Rey Bowen) of the course about their experiences of it and why it is so important.Please sign this petition: https://chng.it/Kyk4Gc8Hf8 support the call for action and please share this story widely! We cannot lose courses like this, they are simply too important.
