It is impossible to talk about race and racism in the 1990s without referring to the tragic murder of Stephen Lawrence and the forms of institutional and state racisms that were exposed as a subsequence of Stephen’s life and death. This panel will discuss the ways in which Stephen’s case has shaped the public discourse on race and racism in the 1990s marking a watershed shift in anti-racist campaigning and political activism. We are inviting panellists to recall their own memories and understandings of that period while reflecting on the significance of the Stephen Lawrence Archive held at DMU, Leicester.

Guest speakers: Professor Jason Arday, Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya, Professor Gus John and Professor Gail Lewis

If you think you can’t do mindfulness then this mindfulness session is for you– maybe you struggle to focus on your breathing or you just find your head filling up with thoughts whenever you try mindfulness. This session offers practical strategies to help with both these things.

In this podcast we explore the ways in which our body experiences negative thoughts; and we use mindfulness to focus on a positive affirmation. With practise we will learn to notice unhelpful, negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones.
