in a series of seminars exploring contemporary issues in researching Black
and Minority Ethnic Health in historical perspective. Each seminar aims to
attract a specialist audience familiar with the specific issue to be
discussed either historically or today and a more general audience
interested in contemporary research and action on the health of Black and
Minority Ethnic communities. Please feel free to distribute these details
as widely as possible. The seminars are free and open to all. It is fine to
turn up on the day, but if possible please register by emailing
