Lives Matter’, to be held on Windrush Day 2021.

This online symposium is organized by the Centre for Memory, Narrative

conversation about 'doing anti-racist research' in the context of Black

    British Empire
  * Histories of Anti-colonial Resistance (especially in the British 
Empire)
  * What does it mean to do anti-racist research (in the humanities and
    social sciences?) in the current conjuncture?
  * How are research agendas being transformed, or should be
    transformed/developed in this context?
  * How do we build on existing intellectual and activist work to create
    anti-racist research cultures?

Presenters are in particular encouraged to articulate their 
proposal around the methodological aspects of their research, which may 
also include epistemological debates, innovative research methods, etc.

We call for potential speakers to submit a short proposal in English for 
a paper of 20 minutes length.
