There are many people in and across the University who are driving change. In this special changemaker podcast series we shine a light on some of our Black academics and the excellent work they are doing in the university and outside to help drive change.

In this episode, Xavier speaks to Amy Saleh about the work she is doing to bring Black literature into schools, focusing on the Princess & The Hustler’ by Chinonyerem Odimba.

The play is a celebration of Black British-Caribbean girlhood, family, and culture, and is set in St Pauls amidst The Bristol Bus Boycott, a defining moment in Bristol’s history.

In a rapidly changing world marked by the climate emergency, remote working, and digitalisation, the traditional transport planning approach of ‘Predict and Provide’ is no longer fit for purpose: it typically leads to the building of even more roads, resulting in issues around congestion and pollution.

In recognising the need for resilience and social transformation, development consultancy Mott MacDonald, in collaboration with UWE Bristol has developed FUTURES, a forward-thinking and vision-led planning tool based on an alternative approach: ‘Decide and Provide’.

In this episode, we meet Professor Glenn Lyons, Mott Macdonald Professor of Future Mobility at UWE Bristol and Annette Smith, Technical Director and lead of the Future Mobility Team at Mott Macdonald. Glenn and Annette discuss FUTURES, a collaborative undertaking between Mott MacDonald and UWE Bristol for a vision-led approach to transport planning in an uncertain world.

This interesting chat highlights one of the many ways UWE Bristol is transforming futures.
