Dr Mahdis Azarmandi on institutional racism

From Afternoons, 1:29 pm on 6 October 2020

The University of Canterbury's College of Arts is hosting an event about institutional racism this evening.

Racism & The Institution: Whose job is it anyway? is a conversation between Dr Mahdis Azarmandi and Dr Darryn Russell, Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Māori, Pacific and Equity.

That comes after Waikato University held an independent review into allegations of racism, and The University of Otago came under fire for a proposal to cap medical admission pathways.

Jesse speaks to Dr Mahdis Azarmandi for a preview of the conversation.
