Happy New #WHBBH Year! Proposals for #WHBBH2 due this week... 

1/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Happy New Year to all my readers! 

2014 was a great year for Black British History: I'm sure 2015 will be even better.

You can help make this happen, by getting involved in the second What’s Happening in Black British History? event, #WHBBH2, which will be held at the University of Liverpool, on Thursday 19th February 2015.

We're particularly looking for presentation ideas on one of the following themes (but don't hesitate to blow us out of the water with something different but brilliant!):
  • Gender, particularly histories of Black British women and the LGBT community
  • Education, with a particular emphasis on how to improve the coverage of black British history in schools, colleges and universities. Presentations from those actively involved in creating teaching resources would be particularly welcome
  • Sport, as a microcosm of the broader politics of race and the construction of black identities
  • Creative and Cultural Interpretations of Black British History, considering how these histories can be communicated in Art, Literature & Music
  • Emancipation, examining the agency of Black people in challenging physical and mental slavery and oppression.
  • Local History, and specifically the history of Liverpool. 

The full Call for Papers can be downloaded here. 

The deadline for submissions is 10th January: that is, this Saturday! 

All we need is 300 words or a blog or video explaining what you want to say. 

Please also feel free to circulate the CFP to others who might want to get involved.

Here's Philip, Michael and I explaining why we're doing this at the beginning of the first #WHBBH:
We hope to see you in Liverpool in February!
