Abstract
This chapter explores racism in university and its detrimental impact on students and staff of colour in the UK. The authors propose The Six Stages Framework as an effective assessment tool to assist individuals in their journey to understanding and challenging racism. With this, it is hoped that individuals can tackle cultures of racism perpetuated by implicit biases. A case study analysis explores the lived experience of racism within a UK university. This sheds light on the devastating impact of lack of diversity, cognitive dissonance, and racist cultures among university staff, systems, and students. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of The Six Stages Framework in framing the causes of racist behaviour and as a communication tool to explain why racial abuse may take place.
