Can We Stop Colourism? Unpacking and Exploring Skin Shade Prejudice with Dr Aisha Phoenix #4

Listen Later

Colourism is an important issue to tackle, and thanks to Dr Aisha Phoenix’s research with Dr Nadia Craddock, the UK has made more academic progress on this in the past decade.

In this episode of King’s Conversations we deconstruct the lesser-publicised issue of colourism, skin shade prejudice, the significant impact of colourism on physical and mental wellbeing, and what steps can be taken to change societal attitudes.

This episode of King’s Conversations covers:

  • Colourism’s impact on young people

  • The UK’s limited research on colourism prior to Aisha’s work with Dr Nadia Craddock

  • Representation in the media as important for addressing colourism

  • What data is needed to tackle colourism, and what methods are safest and most effective to achieve this
