The Speakers:
Dr Jason Arday is an Assistant Professor in Sociology at Durham University in the Department of Sociology. Jason is a Visiting Research Fellow at The Ohio State University in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, a Research Associate at Nelson Mandela University in the Centre for Critical Studies in Higher Education Transformation and a Trustee of the Runnymede Trust, the UK’s leading Race Equality Thinktank. Jason sits on the Centre for Labour and Social Studies (CLASS) National Advisory Panel and is a School Governor at Shaftesbury Park Primary School in London. Jason also serves on the Editorial Boards of Educational Philosophy and Theory; and the British Sociological Association (BSA) journal Sociology.
Jason was very well received at last year's NoWAL conference where he delivered the keynote on The Persistence of Racism in Higher Education.
John Vincent has worked in the public sector since the 1960s, primarily for Hertfordshire, Lambeth and Enfield library services. In 1997, he was invited to become part of the team that produced the UK’s first review of public libraries and social exclusion (from which The Network that he currently coordinates originated).
John runs courses and lectures, writes, produces regular newsletters and ebulletins, and lobbies for greater awareness of the role that libraries, archives, museums, and the cultural & heritage sector play in contributing to social justice.
He is particularly interested in supporting the work that the cultural sector does with LGBTQ+ people (he is currently co-chair of the CILIP LGBTQ+ Network Steering Group), with ‘new arrivals’ to the UK (John is writing a resource pack for libraries that are interested in becoming Libraries of Sanctuary), and with young people in care.
John is the co-author of Public Libraries and Social Justice (2010) and author of LGBT People and the UK Cultural Sector (republished 2017). In 2014 he was awarded a CILIP CDEG Special Diversity Award.
