Event Details

This event is open to all Members, members of other Inns and their guests.

The event will comprise of a talk of approximately forty-five minutes delivered by Dr. Oneyka Nubia, visiting research fellow, University of Huddersfield, which will be followed by a question and answer session.

Within his talk Dr. Nubia will elucidate how concepts of “race” in the Tudor Period were far more nuanced and more progressive to use today’s parlance than we previously have been led to believe. He will speak to some themes within his book, England’s Other Countrymen, Black Tudor Society, that evidence that many of the ideas associated with modern racist ideology are in fact relatively recent development, and what lessons the past can teach us today about combating racism.

The QS will provide students with a brief outline the positive history of race (a non-existent concept) in Tudor times in Britain from a historical perspective. It will enable students to have positive conversations about intersectionalism at the Bar rooted in positive historiography. It will also provide an evidenced-based framework to challenge racist ideology.
