University of Edinburgh Publishes Race Review Into Colonialist Past
- The University of Edinburgh published its Race Review after four years of research, issuing an apology to impacted communities.
- In 2021, the review was commissioned and overseen by Professor Sir Geoff Palmer, resulting in nearly 50 recommendations from the University of Edinburgh.
- The report found at least £30 million was sourced from slavery and colonialism, with 1,800 skulls in the Anatomical Museum taken without consent for research.
- Following the findings, reparative measures were outlined, including research, community engagement, and scholarships, with the response group recommending action to address past injustices.
- This sets a standard for other institutions to reconsider their legacies, suggesting a broader impact within a framework of reparative justice principles.
