  • Be More Empowered Portraits
    University of Bristol: past and present portraits The Wills Memorial Building 24 Be More Empowered portraits Portraits in the The Reception Room In 2019, we launched the Be More Empowered for Success programme to support our Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) students to thrive at Bristol and beyond. To celebrate the first anniversary of this programme, we honour our staff and students of colour who have changed our institution, our city and the world. These portraits commemorate staff, students and alumni who have led the way in education, the arts, economics, politics, activism and social change. From Lord Boateng, one of the first three Black British MPs, to Hannah Dualeh, whose work as a sabbatical officer led to the creation of the Be More Empowered programme itself, each of the portraits represents a member of the University who has brought about significant change in Bristol and across the world. They are accompanied by current and recent staff, students and alumni whose research, learning or work connects them to these figures, and who are themselves change makers, leaders and influencers. At a time when we are reflecting on our institutional history, making a clear commitment to address racism at every level, and striving to ensure that our staff and students of colour have every opportunity to succeed, we are proud to see these influential members of our community take their rightful place on the walls of the Reception Room. 25 Okot p’Bitek 26 1931-1982 Renowned 20th-century poet with Antonette Clarke-Akalanne, Archaeology and Anthropology (BA, 2018) and Masters student “Okot p’Bitek was born in Gulu, Nothern “P’Bitek took a Diploma in Education at Uganda, which at the time was a protectorate Bristol, and later he studied law at the of the British Empire.

    I want to start my address this morning by reflecting on the happy confluence of events, milestones and anniversaries that has brought me to Bristol this year and to take part in this Conference to which so many of you, from so many disciplines and walks of life, have responded. I certainly could not have planned, foreseen or imagined it. This year marks the 20th anniversary of my graduation from the University of Bristol Graduate School of Education as a doctoral student. I had responded to a call by the 1988 Pan- Commonwealth Conference on Small States (held in St. Lucia, incidentally) for native researchers to look into the particular circumstances of their respective countries. So in a way, I have accepted the invitation extended by the Chairman of Convocation, Bill Ray, for the Class of 1994 to return to visit their University. But I am also here at the specific invitation of the Graduate School of Education to celebrate with them the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the Education in Small States Research Group(www.smallstates.net) which, led by Michael Crossley, grew out of the research conducted at the time by post - graduate students from small island developing states. Therefore, I can be considered one of the founders of that Research Group whose “home” was, and still is, the School’s Research Centre for International and Comparative Studies (ICS). How well do I recall Edmund King’s insistence that …. the central and abiding need is to “ get inside the context”… that means true factual knowledge, fidelity to the system “ understood” by 1 the natives and empathy for the problems seen by them ( King, 1979:52) Since then, and to this day, Professor Crossley, my doctoral supervisor and mentor then, and my colleague and mentor still, has never tired of reminding us that, especially in times of intensified globalization, “context matters”…more than many policy makers and researchers realise (see, for example, Crossley and Watson, 2003, Crossley, 2010, 2011).
