New article by @roaa-ali.bsky.social and me - coming out of @ethnicityuk.bsky.social research on how agendas of inclusivity and diversity played out in a museum setting. We make the case that a focus on anti-racism would have produced more critical change.

“There was an investment on being inclusive – but in a way which tended not to involve a clear sense of what might need to change.” @bridgetbyrne8.bsky.social @roaa-ali.bsky.social‬ @uomsociology.bsky.social‬ on the challenges that museums face in decolonisation. #OpenAccess buff.ly/NtDEu6L

📺Recording now available of our latest seminar: 📌‘Unhelpful & redundant’? Identity, inequality & the BAME controversy 🗣Brett St Louis @uomsoss.bsky.social youtu.be/_QHx9wIXJFw

- racial discrimination indirectly contributed to poor mental health, through a greater likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19, financial insecurity, feelings of loneliness, and a reduced sense of belonging

- dose-response relationship between racial discrimination (RD) and poor mental health - recent experiences of RD had a stronger effect on mental health compared to past experiences (over 5 years ago) - chronic experiences of RD (both past and recent) had the strongest effect
