A Particular Reality (APR)

An inter-institutional collective building creative learning environments upon values of anti-racism, care and collaboration formed by students, alumni, and educators from the Department of Art at Goldsmiths, Kingston School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan and Middlesex University.

APR is committed to providing a non-hierarchical space to support marginalised students and staff, within and beyond practice-based higher education.

Profiling inside out: surveillance, resistance, collaboration

Building on long-term collaboration with migrant-led activist projects in Italy, ‘Profiling inside out’ opens spaces for research, collaboration, and action on policing and racial profiling across national, generational, and disciplinary lines.

Reconfiguring Greek language education abroad for a global age

This is a longitudinal (auto)-ethnographic project.

Working collaboratively and ethically with teachers, students and parents, Vally Lytra explores how they adapt and transform language policies, practices, pedagogies and interrogates the role of local, translocal and global language ideologies in shaping them.

Multicultural Experiments in the Civic Life of the Cathedral

A British Academy Innovation Fellowship by Nirmal Puwar.

This project intervenes and experiments with different ways in which multicultural lives can be connected to our outward facing civic cathedral.

Immigration Law and Policy Clinic

The clinic explores key current immigration themes, seeking to situate them within the government’s overarching “hostile environment” approach – an ever-expanding set of administrative and legislative measures designed to impede migrants’ ability to obtain permanent lawful status in the UK and make living in the UK as difficult as possible for all migrants.
