The 2021 Annual Welsh Politics and Society Lecture is presented by Professor Charlotte Williams OBE, Honorary Professor at Bangor University and Chair of the recent Welsh Government Working Group on ‘Communities, Contributions and Cynefin: Black Asian Minority Ethnicities in the new curriculum’.
A number of recent events have sharpened the lens on racial inequality in Wales, generating a broad and sweeping response by the Welsh government and reverberating across public institutions. In several respects the contemporary approach of the Welsh government on race equality accords with the broader claims of distinctiveness in Welsh policy making, and the now familiar trope of the politics of divergence. But, as Charlotte Williams will argue, the contemporary conjuncture signifies much more for the nation. The lecture considers some of the key twists and turns on race equality across the 20 years of devolution, casting a glance back to historical claims to tolerance, internationalism and inclusivity as part of a national sentiment and forward to a consideration of the tenacity of any distinctive drift away from wider UK politics of race. Navigating post-Brexit, post-election, post-Covid futures in this respect is not without its challenges, raising questions about sustained political will, resourcing, trust and public confidence and professional competence. Charlotte Williams will seek to interrogate this contemporary scene, drawing attention to particularities of the Welsh context as well as generating broader points for comparison in equalities policy and practice.
There will be an opportunity for questions and answers, which will be bilingual with live interpretation. The lecture will be in English.
