This Hurts Us Much More Than it Hurts You: The Lived Experiences of Black, Asian and Multi-Racial Student Midwives Alicia Burnett – Student Midwife, Editor-in-Chief of The Student Midwife Published in The Practising Midwife Volume 24 Issue 2 February 2021 Summary UK universities have been called upon to acknowledge and address systemic racism within their institutions, with their moral and legal obligation to make higher education institutions (HEIs) harassment-free environments cited as the rationale for this call to action.1 This follows calls for universities to begin having open conversations about racism, as well as ensuring that racially diverse students feel ‘a sense of belonging’ at their institutions.2 Student midwife Alicia Burnett presents the lived experiences of Black, Asian and multi-racial student midwives from Scotland, Wales, the Republic of Ireland and England in an attempt to foreground the most important voices in these ongoing conversations.
