‘What can academic geography learn from Black geographies and Black organising? And how can we avoid co-optation?’
With Dr. Pat Noxolo (University of Birmingham)
Pat will discuss this question alongside a panel of students from the Geography department. Dr. Pat Noxolo is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham.
She is also lead researcher on the Leverhulme-funded Caribbean In/securities and Creativity (CARISCC) research network, co-editor of Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, and secretary of the RACE group of the Royal Geographical Society.
As one of the most significant voices in debates on postcoloniality within contemporary Geography, Pat’s scholarship spans international development, cultural geography, and studies of security and insecurity. She has written extensively on race, postcolonial theory, and cultural practices including dance and literature. In addition, Pat recently became an AHRC EDI fellow, and is developing a project called Creative Approaches to Race in the Caribbean and the UK (CARICUK) which includes a series of artistic provocations exploring racism as a form of in/security.
