Ep. 45 - Closing the Gap: Race Equity in Education, Dr. Iwi Ugiagbe-Green

In this episode, Caron and Lee are joined by academic activist Dr. Iwi Ugiagbe-Green, Lead Education Innovation Scholar for Differential Outcomes and founder of STRIVE, an award-winning student success programme at Manchester Metropolitan University.

Together, they explore the challenge of differential outcomes for minoritised students in higher education. The conversation unpacks key terms like equity vs. equality and minority vs. minoritised, while also analysing the data that highlights systemic gaps.

This is a challenging but essential discussion on how we can all take steps, individually and collectively, to ensure education fulfills its promise of opportunity for every learner.
