Summary This document lists 99 (including 4 Emeritus) Black1 female professors in the UK, who are or have been employed on a full time, permanent basis in a Higher Education Institute (HEI). Honorary Professors are for this reason not included. There are two Heads of School (Birkbeck & Kent) and one Dean (Wolverhampton). Five hold an MBE; one has a CBE and DBE. The Black female Professors are engaged across 25 different areas in 45 (out of 164)2 HEI’s. The top three are Law (11) followed by Education (10) and Health and Nursing (9). The full breakdown is as follows: Anthropology (1); Art & Design (3); Biology (1); Business, Management & Organisation (9); Development (4); Economics (7); Education (10); Engineering (2); Film & TV (1); Geography (3); Health & Nursing (8); History (1); Law (11); Literature & Creative Writing (7); Math (1); Media, Communications & Informatics (4); Medicine (4); Pharmacy (2); Physics (2); Psychology (2); Politics (3); Science (4); Social Work & Social Policy (3); Sociology & Social Science (7). According to HESA data, there are around 350 Black female professors in the UK, out of a total number of 18,000 professors across the UK, meaning that Black women make up less than 2% of the professoriate in Higher Education. Only five HEI’s have five or more Black female professors: Warwick (12); UCL (8); Royal Holloway (6) and Manchester (6) and Kings College London (5). Most Russell Group3 universities have just one or, even worse, none. The data suggests that some HEI’s are doing better than others but that overall there is much room for improvement. 1 Women of African, Asian and Caribbean origin and descent. 2 http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/facts-and-stats/Pages/higher-education-data.aspx . 3 This group of 25 research intensive Universities includes: Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Imperial, Kings College London, Leeds, Liverpool, LSE, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford, Queen Mary, Queens University Belfast, Sheffield, Southampton, UCL, Warwick and York.

Emeritus Professors Dame Elizabeth Nneka Anionwu, DBE, CBE, FRCN, PhD
Emeritus Professor of Nursing, University of West London. Elizabeth is a qualified nurse and health visitor tutor and has held senior executive roles at various organisations. She was appointed as the first ever UK sickle cell/thalassaemia nurse counsellor and was Head of the Brent Sickle Cell & Thalassaemia Information and Screening Centre from 1979 to 1990. Elizabeth was a senior lecturer in Community Genetic Counselling at the Institute of Child Health at the University College London, and was the Dean of the School of Adult Nursing Studies and Professor of Nursing at University of West London. Elizabeth established and was Head of the Mary Seacole Centre for Nursing Practice, again at University of West London. On her retirement, Elizabeth was honoured with the award of Emeritus Professor of Nursing. http://www.elizabethanionwu.co.uk/ Heidi Safia Mirza
Emeritus Professor of Race, Faith and Culture, Goldsmiths College Heidi Safia Mirza became one of the UK’s first female black professors in the 1990s. She is an expert in equality studies in education and is internationally renowned for her research on ethnicity, gender, and human rights. She describes how Goldsmiths accepted her in the early 1980s, after 70 rejections, to pursue her PhD, at a time when opportunities for young, black women were very limited. “I wrote my first book ‘Young, Female and Black’ from the heart over 25 years ago while at Goldsmiths. It was a time of overt racism after the Battle of
65
Lewisham and the New Cross Fire. It was based on my own personal experiences of growing up in South London so for it to be quoted as a seminal sociological text is quite something.” [email protected] https://www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=9413 Avtar Brah
Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Birkbeck Avtar Brah retired as Professor of Sociology at Birkbeck as a specialist in race, gender and ethnic identity issues. She was awarded an MBE in 2001 in recognition of her research. [email protected] http://www.bbk.ac.uk/about-us/fellows/avtar-brah Audrey Osler
Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Leeds Audrey Osler conducts research on human rights, social justice, and democratic citizenship education policy and practice, in established democracies and post-conflict societies. She has a long-standing interest in the place of narrative and life history in education research and practice and her PhD (published as The Education and Careers of Black Teachers – 1997, Open University Press) examined the contribution of minority teachers to transformative education.
66
She has held professorships and visiting professorships at a number of universities in the U.S. (University of Washington, Utah State University) and in Europe. She is founding director of the Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights Education at the University of Leeds and currently holds visiting posts at Hong Kong Institute of Education and Buskerud University College, Norway.
