In recent years the UK higher education sector has made great progress increasing the representation of Black academics, but more work is needed so every early-career academic has equal opportunity to develop their career. In this report, Dr. Becca Franssen and colleagues draw on survey results and in-depth interviews to paint a picture of the experiences of Black early-career academics and develop a practical guide for how higher education institutions can work purposefully in this area. [The report was coproduced with GatenbySanderson and the Society of Black Academics.]
