JASON ARDAY: RACE, POWER & THE PRICE OF PUBLIC SCRUTINY

 

Venue: Cinema 1
Time: 17:00–18:00
Featuring: Dr Kehinde Andrews and Kelechi Okafor
Jason Arday broke barriers in British academia and became one of its most prominent Black voices. His story — from extraordinary achievement to intense public scrutiny — raises urgent questions about race, power, media responsibility and the human cost of public judgement.
 
When does scrutiny become spectacle? When does accountability become a public lynching? And what happens when a human life is lost in the process?

In this urgent conversation with Dr Kehinde Andrews and Kelechi Okafor, examining race, media power, academia, institutional responsibility and the treatment of Black public figures — asking who is afforded nuance and humanity, and who is reduced to a headline.

A life has been lost. This conversation honours Jason Arday while asking what his story reveals about power, scrutiny and the media in Britain today.
