The Raphael Samuel History Centre and the Imperial War Museum London present:
Whose Remembrance? an investigation into how communities are addressing the colonial experience of the two world wars.
Friday 28 June, 6.00 - 8.00pm The Birkbeck Cinema, 43 Gordon Square

In 2012 the Imperial War Museum's Research Department did a scoping study funded by the AHRC of how far communities are aware of the role of
colonial troops during the two world wars. A 20-minute film Whose Remembrance? (dir. Alastair Uhlig) describes the findings.
The screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Dr Matt Cook (Raphael Samuel History Centre's Birkbeck Director), Ansar Ullah Ahmed (Swadhinata Trust), Suzanne Bardgett (IWM), Pofessor Ian Christie (Birkbeck), and Toby Haggith (IWM Research Dept).
A wine reception will follow.
The event is part of a week of events 'To Seek, To Find, To Live' showcasing the work and collaborations of Birkbeck's School of Social Science, History and Philosophy.
