About the webinar

Racism is both interconnected and specific across geographic boundaries and cultures; and manifests itself in a variety of visible and invisible forms. There are also deep historical roots to slavery and colonialism which chain the past to the present, and the growth of new forms of exploitation of racialized peoples.

Higher education systems legitimate and reproduce racism while simultaneously attempting to challenge and overcome it. This webinar outlines the multiple ways in which intersectional racism operates within higher education across national contexts. It includes an analysis of institutional racism, epistemic violence, and the communities that higher education excludes. It highlights inspirational examples of movements, policies, and strategies to overcome racism and outlines key tasks for the present and the future.

UNESCO IESALC has the privilege to bring into conversation Professor Daniel Mato (Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero, Argentina) and Professor Rajani Naidoo (University of Bath, UK), two leading scholars of higher education who have also championed initiatives to bring about positive change across a range of international contexts.

Speakers

Daniel Mato is Principal Researcher, National Council for Scientific and Technical Research – (CONICET), and Director of UNESCO Chair in Higher Education and Indigenous and Afro-descendant Peoples in Latin America, Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), Argentina. Professor Mato chairs the Initiative for the Eradication of Racism in Higher Education in Latin America. He has published extensively in the fields of cultural diversity, racism and higher education, and culture, communication and social transformation.

Rajani Naidoo is UNESCO Chair in Higher Education Management, Director of the International Centre for Higher Education Management and Head of the Race Equality Taskforce at the University of Bath, UK. Before this, she contributed to an alternative higher education institution that was set up to act as a model for transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. Her publications and research projects focus on the escalation of competition, audit and bureaucracy in higher education, and the contribution of universities to inclusive development and social justice.

Moderator

Dra. Emma Sabzalieva is a Senior Policy Analyst at UNESCO IESALC, leading on a range of projects including the futures of higher education, new forms of student mobility, and academic freedom. Emma Sabzalieva is a comparative and international higher education specialist. Her research focusses on the effects of geopolitics and globalization on higher education policy, and she has extensive experience in higher education policy analysis, teaching, and university administration.
