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 Kehinde Andrews, Professor of Black Studies, Birmingham City University (author of The New Age of Empire: How Colonialism and Racism Still Rule the World)

Moderator: Dr Sharon Walker, Lecturer in Racial Justice and Education, University of Bristol

In this talk, he explores how colonialism continues today in a framework that Malcolm X calls 'Benevolent Imperialism'.

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?
