Cross-faculty research network based at UWE Bristol
The Critical Race and Culture Research Network brings together scholars, students, alumni and independent researchers who are engaged in exploring questions relation to race and culture within their discipline areas. The CRCRN welcomes ALL categories of UWE staff to join, working in both academic and non-academic roles.
CRCRN
What We Do
The CRCRN operates across the four faculties of UWE – Arts, Creative Industries and Education, Business and Law, Environment and Technology, Health and Applied Sciences, and Hartpury College to support research relating to race, ethnicity, culture and identity across the university. The network is a safe place to share ideas, opinions, research findings and emerging questions, and also a platform to disseminate research findings to a broader audience beyond the university.
The CRCRN will collaborate and bid for funding to pursue large scale research projects. It is a solidarity base for scholars, students, alumni and independent researchers to build a visible presence and research profile of this area of critical study, which is already happening across the university without the peer support or base where is can reside.
CRCRN is a repository of race and culture related research studies to act as a database for future reference, and crucially be recognised as a critical mass community of world-leading scholars in a cross-disciplinary area.
The CRCRN welcomes ALL categories of UWE staff to join, working in both academic and non-academic roles.

“Race doesn’t really exist for you because it has never been a barrier. Black folks don’t have that choice.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“We are being asked by the countries that invented nuclear weapons and chemical weapons and apartheid and modern slavery and racism – countries that have perfected the gentle art of genocide, that colonized other people for centuries – to trust them when they say that they believe in a level playing field and the equitable distribution of resources and in a better world. It seems comical that we should even consider that they really mean what they say.”
Arundhati Roy
“Race is more like a language than it is like the way in which we are biologically constituted.”
