Race, multiculture, and conviviality in the shadow of Brexit, COVID, and the Windrush scandal
Join this inaugural TCRU@50 event, part of a programme of activities celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Thomas Coram Research Unit.

In this roundtable, Les Back, Ann Phoenix, and Sivamohan Valluvan will reflect on race, multiculture, and conviviality in the shadow of Brexit, COVID, and the Windrush scandal, three events that have each exposed and exacerbated racialised inequalities.
This event will be particularly useful for interested in migration, racism and racialisation, multiculture and inequalities.
