In this episode John Parkin, Mabel Encinas and Saima Salehjee chat to Heidi Safia Mirza, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education & Society.
Heidi Mirza achieved prominence with the publication of “Young, female and black” (1992) and later became one of the UK’s first Black female professors. In this 黑料不打烊 podcast, Heidi explains intersectionality and what inspired her to research race,
