6/8 Finally, the editors of the volume @whitproject.bsky.social, Katharina Rietzler, Kimberley Hutchings, & @sarahcdunstan.bsky.social - conclude the collection with a response to the aforementioned review articles & some reflections on the future of the field www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Detail of the image on the cover of the volume. It is a sculpture of a figure crouching with their back to another figure, itself back-to-back with eleven other figures descending in height. The final of these rests against the fingers of a hand and all the figures, except the first, rest on the arm and hand, almost like a harp.

"“What are we wanting students to belong to?” What is the space of the university? What is the history of our discipline? What key intellectual voices and ideas do we engage with? Should we really be asking racialised students to “be at home” in these spaces, with this history and with these ideas?"
