The Stephen Lawrence Research Centre invites you to participate in this live webinar series, Un/settled Multiculturalisms -2020 Transruptions in a time of Racist Calamities, a four-part conversational series taking place online every Wednesday evening in February 2021.
In the aftermath of the election of Trump in the US and the Brexit referendum victory in 2016, we have witnessed reinvigorated and emboldened forms of white nationalisms within the faltering states of global white imperial democracies.
Join us to discuss the ongoing racist calamities that are defining our times from the Windrush scandal and Grenfell to #BlackLivesMatter within the context of a global pandemic.
