St John's Black History Month Lecture: Lord Simon Woolley
We are thrilled to welcome The Lord Woolley of Woodford to St John’s for this year’s Black History Month Lecture. Lord Woolley’s lecture is entitled, ‘In a climate of fear of “the other”, new leaders must emerge’.
Drawing on his extensive experience tackling racial inequalities in politics and industry, Lord Woolley will reflect on what, if anything, has changed in the five years since the historic race equality protests of 2020, and consider how improving representation in leadership roles might better serve under-represented communities. It will ask what effective leadership means in a political climate in which diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes are increasingly under attack.
