You've made a start!

Good to see you're up and running now and there are already some good and very detailed and thoughtful posts here! Sajjad, dwilgold and Anonymous (for Pete's sake, please change your Username to your actual name or I won't be able to log your activity and you'll get ZERO for your contributions) get a move on and start supporting your group and helping to build and shape your project.  There are some good ideas flying around here already so now you need to:

  1. Figure out what your rationale is - i.e. why is it important to focus on this issue of bias/ equality in race and gender in Goldsmiths.  What is at stake here?  For who? Are you looking at staff/ students/ everyone in Goldsmiths? Remember you'll need to upload a group rationale to the blog.  You need to jointly articulate it and buy into the idea as a group. 
  2. What are you actually going to do?  What are you going to make happen here? You need a project idea and a plan so that you can start to think about how to make a public intervention/ event/ happening etc. I think you should look at some more creative ideas to help you formulate this. Reports and statistics are great for getting a snapshot of a current situation, but films ads and artworks are also very interesting ways of generating a sense of what is at stake in a project and for dreaming up ideas about how to dramatise the issues. You've got a fairly narrow scope for your project - this is good because it means you stay focussed. But you need to think about how you can make a difference too.
And obviously the people who aren't yet contributing need to start pulling their weight!
