Does racism on university campuses in 2018 shock you? We're asking this following allegations of racist abuse by a student at Nottingham Trent Uni. After that Qasa is joined by children's author Ruby Lovell to talk about her new book 'Ruby Rides An Elephant'. Then writer and actor Rani Moorthy tells us about her latest production 'Handloom', which explores the relationship that British Asians have with the sari. Also we hear from employment lawyer Gillian Howard after the government named and shamed businesses that have underpaid minimum wage workers. And artist Salma Zulfiqar talks to Qasa about opening an exhibition in Birmingham called 'Migration Blanket', which she says shows the struggles and dreams of refugee and migrant women who have settled in the UK.
