Cumberland Lodge is launching a four-part series of free, interactive webinars on issues of race and justice in policing, education, the culture sector and wider society, as part of its ongoing series of regular Dialogue & Debate webinars.
Our ‘Black Lives Matter’ webinars are open to everyone, and participants can interact live with our guest panellists via the Q&A function on Zoom.
Each discussion draws on recently published and forthcoming reports by Cumberland Lodge, including our research and recommendations on Race in Britain: Inequality, Identity & Belonging, Difficult Histories & Positive Identities, Resilient Communities, and our ongoing work around policing and criminal justice.
