Black Lives at UCL is a new podcast series amplifying and sharing the voices of UCL's black staff and students. In each episode, you’ll hear from three people from within the UCL community, talking about their experiences of race, racialisation and systemic racism, and asking what UCL needs to change in order to be better. Listen to this message from the Provost, about why this podcast series is an important step forwards for UCL and why we should all take the time to listen to it.

There are just 85 black professors out of 18,510 in the UK and the number has barely changed in eight years. The percent of black professors (0.4%) shows a striking disparity with the proportion of black students, which has increased steadily each year and now stands at 6%. What does it mean when the generation that produces knowledge is so unrepresentative of the generation that consumes it? This panel debate will be chaired by Professor Michael Arthur, UCL President and Provost. It will aim to ask difficult questions and explore even more challenging solutions. Speakers: Professor Michael Arthur, Chair, UCL President and Provost Dr William Ackah, Panel Member, Birkbeck, University of London Dr Lisa Amanda Palmer, Panel Member, Newman University Dr Shirley Tate, Panel Member, University of Leeds Dr Nathaniel Adam Tobias Coleman, Panel Member, UCL Deborah Gabriel, Panel Member, Founder and CEO of Black British Academics
