The University of Oxford Annual Black History Month Lecture hosted by The University BME Staff Network and Mathematical Institute.
Speakers: Dr Christienna Fryar, Professor Tim Soutphommasane.
Event date: 31 Oct 2023.
More on the speaker from Dr Fryar's website (https://www.cdfryar.com/):
"I am a writer and an independent historian of Britain and the Caribbean. At the heart of my work is the conviction that Britain and its history cannot be understood in isolation from the Caribbean. Sharing history as widely as possible and telling stories about the past and the present that explain, inspire, empower, and challenge has been an important part of my work."
