Akala book5/28/2023 When I heard a couple of years ago that he’d been awarded an honorary doctorate by Oxford Brookes, I wasn’t surprised. I’ve followed Akala’s career off-and-on for the better part of 15 years at this point. The book I chose to add to the library is Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala. I’m Kit – I’m the Digital & Marketing Coordinator at CSU. We’d like to share some of the books that we’ve been reading with you, so you can hopefully learn along with us and maybe get a feel for how we’re approaching this important task. It was an incredible and challenging session for all of us, and really reaffirmed to us that antiracism isn’t something you can just do in training and consider settled – that learning needs to be an ongoing process.Īs part of our organisational learning, we decided we’d found a (small, but growing) library of books themed around antiracism, Blackness and allyship – a package of resources we can share amongst staff to ensure we’re all continually working towards the same goal & mulling over the same ideas. As part of our commitment to becoming an actively antiracist organisation, we recently had an amazing training session with Minds of POC – a consultancy run by young women of colour with a background specifically in students’ unions.
