Exeter College has established a new collection within the College Library, to provoke discussion and awareness of the importance of Black lives, and of racial inequality and injustice, within the higher education setting and in the wider world. Topics include philosophy of race, black writing, feminism, black history, diversity in higher education, policing, activism, understanding racism and anti-racism, and accounts of the lived experience of black people.
