Racist Futures Conference
Friday September 10th 2004, 9.30-4.00
Yorkshire Bank Lecture Theatre, University of Leeds
Organisers: Ian Law and S. Sayyid
The dominant method of thinking and dealing with racism has been through
the perspective of a history of ideas. While this approach points out
very clearly how racism has changed, it has been perhaps less successful
in coping with banal or what has been called everyday racism which does
not seem to depend on the realm of explicit statements about the nature of
race. In this conference and series of seminars, we would like to
interrogate the continuing salience of racism in institutional and
behaviour practices while acknowledging the popular ‘forgetting’ of the
significance of race and its cultural cognates in general. Racist futures
is an exploration of the persistence of racism despite its ideological
unravelling.
