ISR is delighted to be welcoming Dr Onyeka Nubia, a pioneering and internationally recognised historian, writer and presenter who is reinventing our perceptions of the Renaissance, British history, Black Studies and intersectionalism.
"We cannot talk with impunity about Thomas Edison … [as] the creator of the light bulb, without mentioning that Lewis Latimer designed the filament that made the light bulb work! … In hailing Florence Nightingale, one is forced to hail Mary Seacole … In speaking of … Tudor England … Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, we must also speak of Henrie Anthonie Jetto and Mary Fillis of Morisco: the ‘Blackamoores’ that were Shakespeare’s other countrymen. Everywhere we turn, to tell human history right, we have to include. To crudely exclude the African or anyone else from human history is to be a partner in a crime and the accomplice in a felony." Dr Onyeka Nubia, ‘Black History Month in Retrospect,’ Black History 365.
Everywhere we turn, to tell human history right, we have to include. To crudely exclude the African or anyone else from human history is to be a partner in a crime and the accomplice in a felony.
In this lecture Dr Onyeka will explore themes of inclusiveness, diversity, intersectionalism. And looking at topics of repopulating the curriculum, decolonisation, critical race theory, institutional racism, privilege, we will ask the question ‘What is an inclusive pedagogy?’.
Introduced by Professor Jo Crotty, Director of the Institute for Social Responsibility (ISR) at Edge Hill University.
