We are preparing the next generation of Black academics

Our Work

We have created a community that could support a Black scholar for 10 years – from secondary
school pupil to early career researcher.

Future Scholars

Guiding students from Year 12 through university, we provide workshops and opportunities which offer comprehensive support to prospective undergraduates and their parents nationwide.

Black in Academia

We connect the Black academic community by showcasing Black-led scholarship, profiling Black academic role models, and nurturing a sense of belonging through our network events.

Consultancy and Training

We facilitate the cultivation of inclusive environments within education through our staff development and organisational change consultancy services.

Research

We produce research and policy reports to improve the experiences of Black students and academics by centring Black communities and highlighting barriers faced.

The training session was thoroughly researched and backed up by theory. It asked questions that invoked us to critically look at how we think, how we engage with one another, and how we can use this to progress our project.

I'm leaving with the feeling that I'm better placed to support my daughter in her university applications... A fantastic investment of time.

I attended a Leading Routes event several years ago and it was I would definitely attribute attending the event to my return to university, being awarded with a first for my dissertation on Black feminist philosophy and graduating with a 2:1.

Black in Academia

I found it really inspiring seeing a room full of like minded individuals who looked like me. It especially helped me talk to others which has been hard for me to do since the pandemic and joining a new school.
