Becoming Number Eighty-Three

In this talk, The Reverse Mentoring Practice Ltd’s Founder, Stacy Johnson pays tribute to the people, communities and organisations that have contributed to her becoming the 83rd of just 100 Black female professors of nearly 24,000 full professors in the UK.

This will be a talk in three movements, examining themes of identity, inclusion and impact over the course of a ‘quirky’ academic career. Stacy will share with the audience how her intrepid practitioner-research on inclusive leadership and reverse mentoring for equality diversity and inclusion (ReMEDI) has enabled her to influence nursing, healthcare, higher education and the commercial sector at home in the UK, India, China, her native Trinidad and beyond.

The talk is open to the public who can attend in person and online.
