SUMMARY:Black History Now!
DESCRIPTION:Black History Now! is an online panel discussion that reflects on the state of the field in Black British History and affirms its centrality to the discipline of History more widely. What is going on in Black History in Durham and the North East? How can historians in Durham and the wider region continue to build the field? And what are the implications of recent developments in the field for the movement to decolonise the curriculum? \nThe panel includes the following speakers: Stefanella Julius\, Nkechi Managwu\, and Emilie Tenbroek are historians studying at Durham and Decolonising the Curriculum Interns with the Decolonise Durham Network. \nSean Creighton is an independent historian who has worked extensively on Black British History\, radical history\, and the history of slavery and abolition in the North East\, including his role in the Tyne & Wear Remembering Slavery project in 2007 and North East Popular Politics Project in 2010-13. He maintains a blog on History and Social Action. \nLiam Liburd is Assistant Professor of Black British History at Durham University. His research interests lie in the history\, impact and legacy of Empire\, decolonisation and race/racism in twentieth-century Britain. Recently he published the article ‘Thinking Imperially: The British Fascisti and the Politics of Empire\, 1923–35’ in Twentieth Century British History and featured in the BBC Radio 4 series Britain’s Fascist Thread. \nTo register for the Black History Now! event\, please click here.

SUMMARY:NELH Tuesday Meeting: Dr Cathy Hunt will talk about 'Righting the Wrong: the life and work of Mary Macarthur\, 1880-1921'
DESCRIPTION:Mary Macarthur\, trade unionist and socialist\, died 100 years ago in 1921. In this talk\, her biographer\, Dr Cathy Hunt\, looks at the fascinating life and work of this pioneering leader\, who founded the National Federation of Women Workers\, which improved working conditions for thousands of some of the worst paid women in Britain. Cathy will draw attention to the struggles and barriers that faced women workers in the early 20th century whilst also highlighting their successes and strength in solidarity. \nInterwoven with this is the absorbing life story of Mary Macarthur\, on her journey from girlhood in Scotland to London activist and national leader\, through to her tragically early death aged just 40. \nCathy Hunt is an independent community historian and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her research focuses on British labour and social history\, with emphasis on women and work. Her publications includes a history of the National Federation of Women Workers\, a biography of Mary Macarthur and a history of women’s lives in Coventry. \nZoom details to be circulated closer to the time.
