It includes contributions from a wide range of academics and experts, including chapters on the labour market, hate crime, prevent, civil society, gender, health, integration and more. The event will be chaired by Dr. Therese O’Toole (Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, University of Bristol) and Sado Jirde (Director of BSWN), and will explore the implications of the report for Bristol.
