The ‘Race’ Awarding Gap : What can be done?

Renewed attention has been paid to the ‘race’ attainment / awarding gap in Higher Education (HE) which refers to the consistently higher chance White students have of gaining a 1st or 2:1 degree relative to their Black, Asian, Minoritized Ethnic (BAME) counterparts. In this commentary I use Critical Race Theory to provide some context to the gap. I then draw on three UK university case studies (one of which I have led) to close the gap including tackling staff attitudes, building anti-racism into student employability processes and decolonizing psychology’s curriculum.
