Although overt, old-fashioned racism is no longer socially-acceptable, colourblind and other ‘new’ forms of racism dominate current racial ideology in the UK, US, and South Africa.

Colourblind racism is based on the myth that we live in a post-racial society and racial inequality no longer exists, and this ideology serves to uphold the current racial hierarchy.

This webinar will focus on the importance of dismantling colourblind racist ideology in order to address issues of police brutality and racial disparities in COVID-19.

Featuring:
