For Black History Month, this podcast series explores the research journeys of black academics at SOAS to tease out what has enabled them to succeed. We will be exploring their realistic but also inspiring careers and how they contribute to the SOAS community and student development to inspire students at all stages to think about becoming academics.

In this episode we speak to Dr Althea-Maria Rivas about her career as well as the initiatives she's involved with at SOAS.

Students interested in the The Ebony Initiative - Black Students Research Pathway Programme or the BAME Students Decolonial Feminist Reading Group should contact Althea at: [email protected].
