Running for the second time (first run in 2018), the competition was developed to increase the visibility of Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic scientists and mathematicians, while also engaging local schools and young people in showcasing their research in art form.
Oxfordshire state school pupils were asked to create art – of any form – based on profiles of six Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic researchers from the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division of the University of Oxford. As part of their profiles, researchers shared their personal and career stories, as well as their current work in areas such as infectious diseases, cacao trees, nuclear fusion, sand rat genetics, cryopreservation, and data visualisation.
When watched together, the two meetings run for more than three hours in length. We watched them both so you don’t have to.
The first session
The first public hearing of the inquiry into Oriel College s Cecil Rhodes statue In the first hearing on ‘Historic Environment Protection and Legislation’ the eight commissioners who make up the inquiry panel heard from Emily Gee, Regional Director, London and South East at Historic England, and Gill Butter, Conservation and Urban Design Officer for Oxford City Council. The commission asked Ms Gee whether removing a feature from a building, like the Rhodes statue, could be considered harmful enough to have its listing removed.
