Overview
Culture Club: Words, Sight and Sounds remixes traditional book club formats, using digital sources to encourage a creative learning space for teachers, student teachers, community educators, and academics. We are specifically interested in developing deeper understandings of the wide-ranging area of Black Studies scholarship, and its relevance to local-global contemporary education.
Our guest discussant
We are delighted to welcome as our guest, Dr Ryan Hanley (University of Exeter, Exeter, UK).
Ryan Hanley is a Senior Lecturer (Education and Research) and historian of race and slavery in modern Britain, with particular interests in the contributions and perspectives of people of African descent and the intersection of race and class, from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Ryan is one of two historians to be awarded both the Alexander Prize and Whitfield Book Prize from the Royal Historical Society. In 2023, he was awarded a Phillip Leverhulme Prize for his work on Black British histories.
How it works:
Ryan has selected THREE digital resources inspired by Words, Sights, and Sounds, for us to respond with. These stimuli are freely available from digital sources, with URL links provided on registration.
Event structure:
