The Black Advisory Hub is seeking two postgraduate students to contribute to the pre-publication stage of their glossary on racially-inclusive language.
The work will involve updating and editing a draft student-created glossary, which was collaboratively designed and developed by teams of Black undergraduate students working with the APP Participatory Action Research Project and then funded by the University Diversity Fund. We are now seeking experienced student writers and editors to help refine the glossary entries with the addition of relevant scholarship and examples of practice, as well as to develop supporting staff-facing resources.
Applicants must be current students at the University of Cambridge with in-depth knowledge of UK higher education terminology on race and associated concepts. Successful candidates will also be alert to contemporary racial discourses, including critical race theory and diversity and inclusion. Applicants must be available for short-term project work (approximately 20 hours) May-July 2022.
The positions are compensated at Research Assistant rate (Grade 5 Level 1 at £14.22 per hour) for a maximum of 40 hours.
The deadline to apply is Monday 23 May 2022.
