SCUDD

We are offering this statement and call to action (particularly to white colleagues) in our discipline. SCUDD, the collective body of Drama departments in the UK, are in no way exempt from white supremacy and racism, and have indeed been complicit in the perpetuation of such power imbalances. The dynamics of the student body, staff and wider community in and around Drama departments have been sites of the expression of white dominance, white fragility and racism. We are sorry. It is not possible for us to assert what the multitude of negative effects and impacts this has on our black colleagues' and students' lives, health and futures - firstly, we need to listen to their voices. The statement on anti-racist actions can be found here http://scudd.org.uk/members/documents-downloads/... SCUDD represents the interests of Drama, Theatre and Performance in the Higher Education sector in the UK. It acts as a mediating body with organisations such as funding councils, the AHRC and the Arts..
