Bravery in Academia? A discussion led by Cerise Jackson

Friday 6 June 2025, 1pm - 2pm

1st floor Ryle Room, Radcliffe Humanities Building,

All welcome

Join us for a frank and honest discussion about what it means to be ‘brave’ as academics and activists. This discussion has been inspired by a message sent into Race & Resistance by BAF scholar, Cerise Jackson, who is now reaching the end of their PhD journey and is exploring what bravery means for them, as a Black(ish) person in academia, as well as questioning what there is to gain from it. We also want to hear your personal experiences and opinions on the matter. 

Biography: 

Cerise Jackson (she/they) is a third-year doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. Their current ‘Black Anime’ project uses multi- and transdisciplinary methods, combining translation studies, critical race theory, and Japanese studies to explore the relationship between Japanese and Black identities in popular culture. Her doctorate specifically examines ‘Black Anime’ as a genre form emerging from digital and physical, fan and creator networks of solidarity and resistance.
