Abstract

Prevalent research for policy making often highlights how racialised communities experience racialisation. However, it pays little attention to how racialisation in research and policy processes might contribute to social inequalities. This chapter demonstrates application of Intersectional Anti-Racist Academic Activism for Policy-making (INTARAAP), an emerging practice in Scotland. By centring racialised groups' perspectives in the production of evidence for policy and practice, INTARAAP aims to foster a better understanding of the mechanisms of racialisation in these processes. The chapter sets out key theoretical and practical issues in the development of research for policy-making founded on intersectional perspectives through engagement with those often racialised in these processes. The case study used describes the creation of a national process to provide an interface between the skills shortages in the public and private sectors and professional and vocational qualifications acquired by those from beyond the UK. It became named as Skills Recognition Scotland.
