Listen "How The University Awarding Gap Affects Black Students: A Discussion With Prof. Ijeoma Uchegbu! "Achieving STEM Equity Is Not The Task Of Those Affected""
Episode Synopsis
Ali & Clive are joined by Professor Ijeoma Uchegbu, Lecturer in Pharmaceutical Nanoscience at University College London and Chief Scientific Officer at Nanomerics. Prof. Ijeoma has an incredible backstory of resilience and triumph, having grown up between post-war Nigeria and East London and headed to university at age 16. She is a notable scholar and holds a number of patents for drug delivery technologies used in the medical industry.
We tackled the sticky issue of the university Awarding Gap, which sees white students suddenly outperforming other demographics; inconsistent with Key Stage 2 & 3, GCSE and A-Level awarding. We also discussed disparities in research funding and the process of launching a pharmaceutical start-up company.
This conversation was incredibly insightful and will go a long way to support those disadvantaged by the lack of equity in STEM.
