'The Eclipse of Black Women in Anti-Discrimination Law'
by Professor Iyiola Solanke, Chair of European Union Law and Social Justice within the University of Leeds Law School.
Chaired by Dr Chisomo Kalinga, Wellcome Trust Medical Humanities Fellow
To
what extent do Black women enjoy legal protection from discrimination
in the labour market? How can this be improved? This talk will examine
these questions through an exploration of anti-discrimination law and
its impact in the UK, North America and the EU. Drawing upon ideas in
their recent book, Discrimination as Stigma (Hart 2017), Professor
Solanke will argue for a re-design of anti-racial discrimination law
that departs from the experiences and perspectives of Black women.
