Join us for a conversation with students who have been researching Black voices in the LSE archives! This event will take the form of presentations from our student researchers, followed by questions to and from the audience to facilitate discussion. We hope that this research inspires conversations about what the archive can mean for us at LSE, and how it can shape our futures.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the evening. This event is open to all LSE staff and students.
Speakers and their themes:
Blessing Oludele - PGT Student in Department of Methodology
Several prominent Pan-Africanists emerged from the LSE community and while their impact may have been widely documented and researched there still exists a gap to learn more about their time here on campus and how it connects to the impact they went on to make. While exploring the impact of notable Pan-Africanist who were enrolled in LS, I also aim to invite more staff and students to trace back some heritage with the LSE Archive.
Grace Kejo - UG Student in Department of Social Policy
My research explores how colonial governments shaped the establishment and development of education in east africa. Through evidence from the LSE archive this work hopes to spark conversations about historical power structures and the way in which education systems can perpetuate inequalities.
This event is hosted by LSESU in collaboration with LSE Library.
