Black Atlantic Innovation Network
15 March 2022
Rodney Harrison (UCL Institute of Archaeology) is a partner in the British Atlantic Innovation Network which will provide strategic support to leading arts, heritage and education organisations.
The past decade has seen active engagement by cultural institutions in England with efforts to strengthen equality, diversity and inclusion and processes of ecological sustainability and decolonisation within organisations.
The Black Atlantic Innovation Network, co-chaired by Paul Gilroy and Ashish Ghadiali, and funded by UCL Innovation & Enterprise, will see UCL’s Sarah Parker Remond Centre provide strategic support to leading arts, heritage and education organisations in taking stock of work already undertaken in these areas, exploring objectives, challenges and best practices and facilitating the emergence of collaborative future strategies within and across sectors.
Founding partners include Serpentine Galleries, the National Trust and the National Education Union and working groups will be co-led by Lucia Pietroiusti (Arts), Rodney Harrison (Heritage) and Tariq Jazeel (Education).
