We’ve seen a rise of racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism across Europe. Challenging it is a key priority.
Universities are often at the sharp end of this racism. The government’s Prevent agenda unfairly targets Muslim students, the rights of EU students and staff are being used as a bargaining chip in Brexit, and our curriculums don’t reflect the diverse student body.
This conference, jointly hosted by Stand Up to Racism and Muslim Engagement and Development, aims to bring together students and staff from across the country to discuss how we can build a movement on our campuses to challenge racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism.
