The Exchange

The Exchange Logo

The Stephen Lawrence Research Centre is dedicated to facilitating dialogue, critical inquiry and information-sharing about hot topics shaping how we think about race, racism and social justice. Now we’re taking the conversation to a whole new level with The Exchange.

Webinars on The Exchange bring together a range of guest speakers in an inclusive space to exchange ideas, raise awareness and address issues and perspectives that are oftentimes underrepresented in the public arena and in academic research.

The channel is a great place for disseminating cutting-edge research ideas pertaining to the SLRC’s research target areas as well as supporting engagement and network-building between academics and wide-ranging intergenerational communities.

For anyone who is interested in discussions around the impact of research in exploring the persistence of racism and social justice, The Exchange is the place to join the conversation.
