BLACK STUDIES DEGREE SHUT DOWN, INTERVIEW WITH BLACK STUDIES DEGREE STUDENTS - S1 FINALE EP14 RERUN

from Make it Plain · host Make it Plain

This week we're rerunning the final episode from S1 of the MIP podcast with a (first on the pod) cameo appearance from executive producer Weyland McKenzie-Witter explaining the rerun. In short, it's due to the award-winning undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts) in Black Studies (which Kehinde co-created) being shut down by Birmingham City Uni (BCU). A life-changing and grounding break course. This is an institutionally racist move that continues the attack on Black thought in higher education. FYI: BCU is still running the Master of Arts in Black Studies degree program for Sept 2025/26 entry. In the interview from 2023, Kehinde Andrews asks a mixture of Black Studies undergraduates and MA students; hearing testimonies from Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte, from all three Black Studies degree courses at Birmingham City Uni about their experiences on the courses. The students featured are Eileen, Nae, Esther, Laura, Fonce, and Charlotte. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Kehinde speaks on the BCU's undegrad Black Studies course cancellation https://x.com/kehinde_andrews/status/1827358975085453638 - GUEST LINKS Professor Kehinde Andrews ([email protected]) BCU Profilehttps://www.bcu.ac.uk/business-law-and-social-sciences/staff/sociology-and-criminology/kehinde-andrews Black Studies Research Cluster at Birmingham City University (BCU) https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/social-sciences/identities-and-inequalities/research-clusters/black-studies - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.
