Ideas Matter: Race and Racism series introduction


Listen Later

This is the first podcast in our new series on Race and Racism, the theme of BoI charity’s event The Academy held online in late 2020.

In this episode, we feature Jacob Reynolds, who along with Dr James Panton, was the co-convenor of the event.

Jacob reflects briefly on the return of race to the forefront of politics, and sets the scene for the series of podcasted talks that will follow this, each of which will explore an aspect of the intellectual history and latest cultural trends that inform the new discussion on race and racism.

Jacob Reynolds is external affairs manager at the boi charity and was co-convenor of The Academy Online II. He is author of the Letters on Liberty pamphlet Beyond the Culture Wars

THE ACADEMY ONLINE II: RACE AND RACISM

The Academy II was a half day online event via zoom that took place in November 2020.
