Transforming the Ivory tower is a must-read for Black women considering a career in academia. In fact, it should be a must read for vice-chancellors, senior management and all academic staff.
This eagerly awaited successor to the ground-breaking Inside the Ivory Tower immediately resonated with me, by way of the writer of the foreword: Professor of Criminology and Sociology, William “Lez” Henry.
As the second edited collection in our Ivory Tower series Transforming the Ivory Tower is published today, we congratulate our Patron Shirley Thompson on her long overdue Professorship. She is now Professor of Music at the University of Westminster.
