Anti-racism movements in the UK
Romani Gypsies in the 16th Century
Lit in Colour
In conversation with Martin Spafford, Hannah Ishmael and Professor Hakim Adi, we focus on the histories of anti-racism in the UK and Britain’s own civil rights history. We talk about why so much of it has been forgotten, what is missing and why it matters that these subjects are taught today.
In conversation with Professor Becky Taylor and Helen Snelson, we discuss the arrival of Romani Gypsies in the beginning of the 16th Century in Britain, and why their initial welcome from local gentry and royalty quickly turned sour.
In conversation with Dr Zaahida Nabagereka, we focus on efforts to diversify the English Literature curriculum and in particular our project with Penguin, ‘Lit in Colour’.
In conversation with Shabna Begum and Anandi Ramamurthy, we focus on the histories of Asian Youth Movements in Britain, groups formed by second-generation South Asians in the 1970s to resist racism in their communities.
