URTUC: The One Year Anniversary Event

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

What you need to know

This event is only open to University of Glasgow staff and students - please ensure you use a valid UofG email to book your space.

The University’s Understanding Racism and Transforming University Cultures (URTUC) Report and Action Plan was launched in February 2021 in response to the EHRC's Report which exposed widespread evidence of racial harassment across UK university campuses.

This one year anniversary event highlights the University of Glasgow’s continuing commitment to racial justice, and touches on just some of the actions underway across the institution from:

  • The setting up of a staff network
  • Co-creating an anti-racist campaign with input from staff and students
  • The creation of a Decolonising the Curriculum Community of Practise

We will be joined by our Principal, Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli; Uzma Khan, Deputy Chief Operating Officer and Director of Planning and the new Race Equality Champion; authors of the URTUC report, Professor Satnam Virdee and Mhairi Taylor; as well as colleagues Dr Christine White, Professor Lubna Nasir, Dr Cindy Chew, Dr Shantel George and Dr Thomas Anker along with Smina Akhtar (PGR) and the SRC’s Race Equality Officer, Temisan Atsegoh.

Not able to attend on the day?  Our intention is to record the session, so please do register and we'll send the link to all registrations once it's available.
