Really looking forward to the fifth in our series of Black British History workshops!

It will be held on Thursday 27th October 2016, from 10.00-7.15 in the Wolfson Room,  at the Institute of Historical Research, Senate House.

Our keynote speaker will be Kehinde Andrews, a lead member of the team delivering the UK's first BA course in Black Studies at Birmingham City University. 

We've got some great panels too. The first 
Beyond Mary Prince: Black Women in Dialogue will be delivered by students from  the MA course in Black British Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. Then we've got Recovering and Engaging the Public with Black British Histories- where we'll hear from those who are finding histories to bring to the public, in exhibitions at the Black Cultural Archives and Epping Forest, and in novels and interactive presentations for young people. The third session, Identity and Involvement in Doing Justice to Black British History in Schools will be brought to us by a group of teachers involved with the excellent Justice2History project, who some of you might remember from WHBBH1. 

It's going to be great. You can read the full agenda below, and Register here.

Hope to see you there!
