This event is part of the School of Education's Bristol Conversations in Education research seminar series. These seminars are free and open to the public.

Co-hosted by the Race, Empire and Education Collective and Centre for Comparative and International Research in Education (CIRE)

Speaker: Professor Tariq Modood, Professor of Sociology, Politics and Public Policy, University of Bristol

Moderator: Amina Shareef, Doctoral Student, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge

Professor Tariq Modood will give a personal reflection on the two imperial stories he is a part of and the two countries that have shaped him; and what that implies for the arc of history and decolonisation.

Each talk in this series will reflect on the following:

What is ‘unprecedented’ about this current moment in which there has been an outpouring of support in response to Black Lives Matter?

Are we failing to engage with a long history of critical thinking on race and racism, adopting a type of presentism in our responses to the current moment?
