Black in Academia: Staying the Course – Leicester (Stephen Lawrence Research Centre DMU)
#BlackinAcademia: Staying the Course events are designed to encourage and support Black students who are studying in the UK and considering a Masters, PhD or career in academia. Often, information about the steps students need to take to progress through academia is not transparent, easily accessible or well circulated.
The spaces we create are designed for current Black students (and returning Black students) to share their thoughts and concerns about postgraduate research whilst providing information about the practical steps they can take during their undergraduate and masters that will support their entry into *funded* postgraduate research.
