Vital MA stopped❗ Birmingham City University drops Britain's first & only Black Studies master's @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social calls this "a direct attack on the production of critical knowledge" by Black British & diasporic peoples @pttsmuenster.bsky.social @cofund-mdc.bsky.social pls share

Kimberlé Crenshaw's STATEMENT
ON BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY'S
DECISION TO DROP their BLACK STUDIES MA master's PROGRAMME

The systematic dismantling of Black Studies in the United States is mirroring a dangerous parallel in the United Kingdom, where the discipline now faces the threat of total erasure. This dismantling is not merely an institutional realignment; it is a direct attack on the production of critical knowledge. It remains absolutely essential that the truth regarding the history, contributions, perspectives and lived experiences of Black people in Britain and across the global diaspora is preserved, taught and championed.
