Hosted by Dr. Josie Gill, lecturer in English at the University of Bristol, whose research focuses on Black British and African American writing.
This workshop will provide an introduction to ideas of Blackness and explore how the term Black has been variously employed and contested by artists, writers and scholars in Britain and beyond.
The workshop also provides a first taste of the newly introduced interdisciplinary MA in Black Humanities.
In partnership with the Centre for Black Humanities.
This is an inclusive event and anyone who wants to celebrate Black History Month is welcome to attend.
