She’s the founder of The Everyday Bigotry Project seeking to disrupt narratives around race and bigotry. She's a former aid worker of 15 years and has worked across the Middle East, East and West Africa and Pakistan with women impacted by conflict and emergencies. She's the co-founder of Intersectional Feminist Foreign Policy seeking to influence the creation of an ethical feminist foreign policy that does no further harm to women and girls and that brings the lived experiences and expertise of women excluded from policy discussions based on their intersectional identities. Dr Clara Barker works in the Department of Materials, managing the Centre for Applied Superconductivity. Clara also happens to be transgender. During her youth there were few LGBT+ role models around, continuing through her STEM career. Clara is a loud advocate for LGBT+ diversity in STEM and for LGBT+ equality in the university (as an LGBT+ model) and in the local community (through running local support groups). Her work was most recently recognised by the Prime Minster being awarded the prestigious Point of Light Award and was recently featured in Stonewall’s work on Trans Day of Visibility. Laura Argyropulo Coryton runs the UK 'End Tampon Tax' campaign with over 320,000 supporters, sits on the BBC's '100 Women' steering committee and currently studies MSt Women's Studies at the University of Oxford. Micha Frazer-Caroll is the current Welfare and Rights Officer at Cambridge Students’ Union and has recently worked on a successful ‘Welfare is Political’ campaign. Micha is also the Arts and Culture Editor at gal-dem magazine. Professor Patricia Daley is Professor of the Human Geography of Africa and the Helen Morag Fellow and Geography Tutor at Jesus College, Oxford. She served as the University Assessor for 2015 - 2016. She is a pan-African-Feminist/Womanist and is the author of Gender and Genocide: The Search for Spaces of Peace in central Africa. Professor Daley was awarded the Outstanding Supervisor Award by the Oxford University Student Union in 2015. Suzanne Dhaliwal is an activist and campaigner, working on indigenous rights and mining issues. Suzanne is the director and co-founder of the UK Tar Sands Network, which works in solidarity with the Indigenous Environmental network to campaign against UK corporations and financial institutions invested in the Alberta Tar Sands. She has worked with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders Canada raising awareness about the impacts of mining on the mental health of indigenous communities impacted by mining in Colombia. She has been connecting environmental justice struggles in the Arctic, Tar Sands and Nigeria specifically around Shell’s human rights violations. Since 2011 she has developed anti-oppression and creative action trainings to support the development of a creative inclusive environmental movement grounded in anti-oppression principles. Annie Gavrilescu is currently the France regional manager for Help Refugees, and has worked in Northern France since September 2015. The work of Help Refugees in the region has been mainly to provide emergency aid to displaced people in camps, and now on the streets and in the woods of Calais and Grande Synthe, from over 10,000 in the old Jungle camp, to now around 1000 across the area. Apart from emergency aid (including shelter, food, clothing and hygiene) to 70 grassroots projects in France, Serbia, Greece and as far as Syria, Help Refugees have prioritised advocating for long term change by litigating against and holding governments to account on issues such as child protection, sanitation, police violence and many other state failures Anna Gee is a first year undergraduate studying Biological Sciences, and have been exposed to some of the fascinating research my tutors and lecturers are doing in the area of climate change. As such, I was shocked by the hypocrisy when it was revealed in the Paradise Papers leak that Oxford University Oxbridge Feminism in Theory and in Action Conference has investments in fossil fuel exploration ventures. This prompted me to join the Climate Justice Campaign and put pressure on the University and Colleges to withdraw these investments. Our campaign aims to raise awareness among the student body, and start a dialogue with the University. We also led two direct actions last term, one of which involved being covered in fake oil to tell Oxford to #ComeClean. Sydney Heifler is a comic book and media historian, who specializes in romance comic books and magazines created during the Cold War in both United States and the United Kingdom. She is a Regent’s Scholar and a Provost Undergraduate Fellow of UC Davis. Currently, she is pursuing her MSt in Women’s Studies at the University of Oxford. Dr Charlie Jeffries is a Lecturer in 20th Century History at Keble College, Oxford. Prior to this, she was a pre-doctoral Fellow at Yale, a PhD student at Cambridge, and before that a Teaching Fellow in History at the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh. At Cambridge, she was highly involved in the community and activism of the CUSU women's campaign, particularly in the drive for consent workshops to be brought in across the colleges. She researches gender, sexuality, and social movements in the modern US, and she is currently preparing a book manuscript on the significance of adolescent sexuality in the US culture wars. She also makes queer feminist punk pop under the name Jeff. Melz is an Academic, Grime MC/ Rapper and Poet. They are passionate about decolonising knowledge and spaces and writes extensively about this in her music, poetry and academic work. Melz has worked with platforms such as TEDx and The Huffington Post where they offer poetic and musical responses to some of the most critical issues facing our society and political system. Melz is currently pursuing a PhD at The University of Leeds wherein they are exploring the epistemic ways Eurocentric colonialism continues to affect black British mental health. Margo Munroe-Kerr worked for the Unofficial Women and Children's Centre in the Calais Jungle as a translator and teacher for two months before it was evicted in October 2016, and in the Dunkirk Refugee Women's Centre in August 2017. She has been working with Asylum Welcome visiting and supporting detainees in Campsfield House since March 2017 and also runs Oxford for Dunkirk, a group aiming to raise funds for efforts on the ground in refugee camps in Northern France and encourage students to volunteer. Dr Denise Noble has taught media, cultural studies, sociology, African American and African Studies and social work in the UK and USA. In addition to her academic career Denise has extensive experience of community activism and community work, and is an experienced professional and personal development consultant and trainer, specialising in equality and diversity in further and higher education as well as coaching and mentoring. Denise’s research interests include race and racism in the UK; the Caribbean diaspora; the intersections of place, race, gender, class and sexuality in the cultural politics of the African diaspora; the cultural politics of Black freedom; postcolonial media practices; and post-coloniality / decoloniality / modernity. Paul Otswald is the founding editor-in-chief of the Oxford Journal of Interrupted Studies.

    For a Safer Tomorrow For a Safer Tomorrow Protecting civilians in a multipolar world Since the end of the Cold War, the number of armed conflicts in the world has fallen. But is this trend now about to be reversed? Climate change, poverty and inequality, and the wider availability of weapons all add to the risk of conflicts increasing. In 1949, the Geneva Conventions enshrined people’s rights to be protected from atrocities in conflict. Yet civilians are still killed, raped, and forced to flee their homes, 60 years on. In 2005, almost every government in the world agreed its Responsibility to Protect civilians. Many have failed to keep this promise. Governments must now make new efforts to take up the challenge in a rapidly changing ‘multipolar’ world, where China and the USA will be the ‘superpowers’, and Protecting civilians in a m where India, the European Union, Brazil, and others are gaining new global influence. Many people feel that there is little that can be done to prevent the brutal targeting of civilians that characterises modern warfare. They are wrong. This report, based on Oxfam International’s experience in most of the world’s conflicts, sets out an ambitious agenda to protect civilians through combining local, national, and regional action with far more consistent international support. ultipolar wor For ld a Safer Eric Canalstein/UN Photo Tomorrow www.oxfam.org © Oxfam International 2008 Protecting civilians Oxfam International is a confederation of 13 organisations working together in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice: Oxfam America, Oxfam Australia, Oxfam-in-Belgium, in a multipolar world Oxfam Canada, Oxfam France - Agir ici, Oxfam Germany, Oxfam GB, Oxfam Hong Kong, Intermón Oxfam (Spain), Oxfam Ireland, Oxfam New Zealand, Oxfam Novib (Netherlands), and Oxfam Québec.

We aim to raise awareness across the university and beyond of the past, present and future contribution of Black communities to our social, economic, political, cultural and intellectual life in the UK. Brookes’ programme for Black History Month goes “Beyond a Month…” to link with our wider race equality agenda, connect with the development of our Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Staff Network, and give increased positive profile and visibility to the experience of our BME staff and students. Black History Month especially promotes knowledge and awareness across all communities of the experience and contribution of Black people of African and African Caribbean heritage to British and global society. Join us as we look back at the history as well as looking forward to the future in creating a society that works for all.

  • Rethinking Security Conference Report June 2018
    Time for change: new approaches to national security Friday 15th 2018, Friends House, London Rethinking Security conference report Introduction This document summarises plenary sessions and parallel workshops that took place at the first Rethinking Security national conference, held in Friends House, London on Friday 15th July 2018. The report provides brief summaries of the plenary sessions attended by all participants. It provides greater detail on the discussions that took place in parallel workshops, in order to give participants a flavour of conversations in those workshops they did not attend. This report is complemented by the audio recording of the plenary sessions, which will be accessible on our website, www.rethinkingsecurity.org.uk and by the live tweets published on the day, which can be accessed on Twitter using the hashtag #RethinkSecurity. Morning plenary: the case for rethinking security After a welcome from Marigold Bentley of Quaker Peace & Social Witness, Celia McKeon of Rethinking Security opened the first session, explaining how the Rethinking Security initiative emerged out of a shared concern about the narrative that frames the UK’s approach to national security. She stressed the importance of challenging current assumptions about and approaches to national security, citing a variety of negative impacts and consequences for people’s lives. She emphasised the importance of articulating and building support for a new vision of security, and the role of the conference in exploring different dimensions of that vision. Professor Paul Rogers gave the opening keynote address. He highlighted the major underlying causes of insecurity – climate change, inequality and marginalisation – all occurring in an interconnected world in which injustices are becoming more apparent and stark.
