Together with Dr Katucha Bento and Dr Shaira Vadasaria, Nasar has co-developed and co-convened a new cross-university course on Race and Decolonial Studies at the University of Edinburgh as part of RACE.ED. This interdisciplinary course provides an overview of the major issues at stake in the study of race, racialization and decoloniality from a broadly conceived social science and humanities tradition.
