Anticipating Black Futures Symposium
We invite PhD and Early Career Researchers, Artists and Activists engaging with Black Studies, Black British Studies and related subjects to send an Abstract or Poster submission by: 8 March 2019
Symposium date: Friday, 31st May 2019
Symposium location: Birmingham, England
Anticipating Black Futures is an interdisciplinary symposium that will consider the futures of Black people in Britain by responding to the lived experiences of now.
In a nation where Black pasts are erased and the present is under threat, how do we begin conceptualising the future? This symposium responds to this curiosity by raising questions about the meanings of Black identities in Britain from this moment of post- Windrush and pre- Brexit. By anticipating the future Black possibilities we can articulate contemporary realities and theorise how to move forward in the present hostile environment.
The submissions will take the form of lightning talks that last 10 minutes or less.
We want to encourage dialogue between attendees and presenters to deviate away from the traditional approach to symposiums.
