  • Being black in a white world: understanding racism in british universities Katy Sian Sociología Britain Identity Universities Higher Education Institutional racism This paper critically examines the experiences of racism encountered by academics working within British universities. The conceptual position is underpinned by a critical race theory and postcolonial feminist framework. These theoretical approaches intertwine to present a rich and com plex set of snapshots that document the various challenges and barriers faced by British academics of colour/difference in higher education. The empirical data that informs this piece has been generated by a series of qualitative, in - depth, semi - structured interviews with academics of colour and of difference, and who are based broadly within the social sciences and humanities. Those interviewed come from a range of different racial, religious and ethno - national backgrounds, and occupy different academic po sitions within the university structure. Through a close engagement with the empirical material, this paper analyses the effects of the structural and systemic nature of racism as experienced by my respondents. The account is focused around three key theme s including microaggressions and institutional racism, teaching, and promotion and support. 2017 artículo científico 1695-6494 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=76552651002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/765/76552651002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/765/76552651002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/765/76552651002/76552651002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/765/76552651002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=765 Papeles del CEIC.
