Shades of Noir offers enhanced consultation in intersectional social justice and anti-racism.
As a community, we recognise that research and herstories/histories/theirstories inform all the work that we do, and we are proud to consistently deliver ‘tailored’ interventions that inform mainstream activity across sectors. This is now being adapted and delivered for a number of institutions and organisations. We take pride in being specialist(s) in critical, transformative and emancipatory activities, and sharing this with our many partners.
Our related consultancy service(s) and support include education and development through dialogue, problem-solving and critical thinking. Additionally, we help to foster proactive enhanced relationships through the framework of people, policy and process which adopts meaningful approaches that take account of the social, cultural, political and historical experiences of the trainees as experts in the field, fused with the mission, values and legacy of Shades of Noir – revealing the ongoing relationship and synergy between the programmes of work past and present. This includes a multiplicity of methods responding to, but not limited to, the critique of current policies, the review of a range of business strategies and practices, collaboration, pastoral and academic advice, support and development.
We are also advocates for marginalised and underprivileged communities in facilitating a direct link with research with key senior stakeholders in the institution. Recognising the politics of cultural currency, we choose only to facilitate the autonomy of such communities, resulting in processes that have been proven effective in transforming, reimagining and inspiring new ways of thinking and doing.
