 troversy - Brett St Louis

DESCRIPTION:In this CoDE lunchtime seminar\, Brett St Louis from the Univ
 ersity of Manchester shares his research. \n\nThe BAME (black\, Asian an
 d minority ethnic) acronym has proved highly contentious\, facing critic
 ism from varied sectors of civil society mainly as homogenizing ethnic d
 iversity and disregarding cultural specificity. This paper focuses on tw
 o issues. First\, I explicate the significance of calls to stop using BA
 ME as coming from across the political spectrum\, including the Conserva
 tive government\, major broadcasters and voluntary organizations. Second
 \, I evaluate arguments for retaining BAME as an important collective ca
 tegory that can be used to substantiate ethnic discrimination and inequa
 lity. In conclusion\, the paper suggests a need for reflection on the co
 nceptualization of ethnic categories in relation to designated analytica
 l and practical commitments.\n\nRegister on eventbrite: https://www.even
