This project, funded by the EDI Engagement and Contribution Fund, researches the various forms of hidden labour that are undertaken by Black staff and students at UCL and is informed by recent scholarship on the 'deliberate, intentional work' that will be necessary to create a more just institution. We have gathered this data in three ways: anonymous questionnaire, staff or student focus groups (1 hour), and individual interviews (30-minute). The project gives precedence to the lived experience and knowledge of Black (for the purpose of this research, we mean of African or Caribbean descent, including mixed) people in the academy and is led by a Black researcher; we invited all members of UCL's community - students, academic staff, professional services staff - who identify as such to share their experiences. The data and insights produced by this research form the basis of an index of hidden labour performed by already-marginalised scholars, and a set of recommendations for both redress of past labour and future transformation.
