SUMMARY:Gala Theatre\, Durham City: Black History Month event\, Time for Change - Action Not Words
DESCRIPTION:From Dr Liam J Liburd\, Durham University \nI’m writing as the new Public History Officer at Durham University’s Department of History to spread the news about our upcoming History Now! event to mark Black History Month. History Now! is a series of public talks organised between the History Department and the Gala Theatre in Durham.  \nThis year’s Black History Month event will be held in-person at the Gala Theatre on 12 October at 5:30pm\, organised in cooperation with Durham’s BAME Network. \nThe event is a panel discussion reflecting on the theme of this year’s Black History Month: ‘Time for Change – Action Not Words’. Bringing together speakers from within higher education as well as historical researchers beyond academia\, the speakers and our audience will consider (among other things) the present and future of Black history in Britain. \n One thing to note\, this is a ticketed event. Tickets cost only £1 to cover the cost of room hire.  \n *PLEASE ALSO NOTE* In order to avoid the paying booking fee\, rather than booking online or over the phone\, it is best to either pay on the door on the evening itself or to pop into the Gala ahead of time and buy tickets in person from their box office. The Facebook event link can be found here and the Gala theatre event page here. \nThe panel will consist of the following speakers: \n\nProfessor Heidi Safia Mirza is Emeritus Professor of Equality Studies in Education at UCL Institute of Education and Visiting Professor of Race\, Faith and Culture at Goldsmith’s College\, and Social Policy at London School of Economics. She is a daughter of the Caribbean Windrush Generation and is internationally known for her pioneering intersectional academic research on race\, gender and identity and championing the rights of Black\, Muslim\, and Asian women through educational reform. She is author of several best-selling books including Black British Feminism and Young Female and Black\, which was voted in the top 40 most influential educational studies in Britain. Professor Mirza is a leading voice in the global debate on decolonisation and co-edited the flagship book\, ‘Dismantling Race in Higher Education: Racism\, whiteness and decolonising the academy’.\nDr Beverley Prevatt Goldstein has worked extensively in the fields of social work practice\, social work education\, community development and training and consultancy. She has led training on equalities in the major child care organisations in the North East\, the majority of the North East universities and with foster carers and adopters nationally. She is an active researcher and her 28 publications include articles and chapters on black children with a white parent\, black perspectives and social work education. Her most recent publications are African Lives in Northern England (2021) and ‘Searching for new perspectives on heritage: The Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans’ in Whose Heritage? Challenging Race and Identity in Stuart Hall’s Post-nation Britain (forthcoming\, Routledge\, 2023). She has been Acting Programme Director of the Diploma of Social Work at Durham University\, Director of BECON (Black Minority Ethnic Community Organisations Network for the North East region) and Chair of North East of England African Community Association. She is a member of Culture Against Racism and Stand Up to Racism\, North East.\nChair: Dr Liam J. Liburd is the Assistant Professor of Black British History at Durham University. His research focuses broadly on the ongoing impact of the legacies of empire and decolonisation in modern Britain. His current research focuses on Black radical analyses of fascism and on the question of how historians might use these to transform our understanding of the relationship between British fascism and the British Empire\, as well as\, more broadly\, of the politics of race in modern Britain. He is currently developing his doctoral thesis ‘The Eternal Imperialists: Empire\, Race and Gender on the British Radical Right’ (University of Sheffield\, 2019) into a book.\n\nWe’re hoping for a lively discussion involving the audience as well as the panellists\, so please do come along and spread the word!

SUMMARY:Durham University: Riots and Roughs: The Violent Origins of English Electoral Democracy
DESCRIPTION:From: Dr. Patrick M Kuhn (PI)\, Proff. Gidon Cohen and Nick Vivyan and Drs. Luke Blaxill\, Gary Hutchison \nWe would like to invite you to ‘Riots and Roughs: The Violent Origins of English Electoral Democracy’ for an evening of electoral violence and local history.  \nBritain’s electoral development has not always been peaceful. Nineteenth-century elections were\, in fact\, often extremely violent affairs\, much more violent than commonly believed. Our team of Political Scientists and Historians from Durham University have been investigating the causes and consequences of electoral violence in England and Wales. Their database of violent election incidents and interactive map reveals the true extent of bribery\, intimidation\, and aggression\, which characterised Britain’s democratic processes in the nineteenth century. Now\, they invite you to come and explore your locality’s own dubious relationship with democracy.  \nJoin us\, on Monday 24 October from 18.00 – online or in person – at Durham University’s Teaching and Learning Centre (Room TLC033; parking is available at the Durham Park & Ride Howlands less than ½ mile south of the venue)\, where Dr. Patrick M Kuhn and his colleagues will introduce you to the dark side of democracy. Together we will explore the surprisingly violent history of elections in England and Wales\, taking a close-up look at some of our more amusing and disturbing finds. Patrick will demonstrate how our interactive map works and highlight opportunities for local historians to refine and contribute to this resource\, which we aim to continuously update and improve. We are also eager to learn what information we might be able to share from our research to enrich and support your work. \nFor any secondary school history or citizenship teachers\, there will also be a separate presentation to introduce you to our free educational material (KS3/4) designed to aid the teaching of democracy in schools. Those who can join us in person will then have the opportunity to chat with our researchers and explore their local area’s history of electoral violence\, using our interactive map for themselves with a glass (or two!) of wine.   \nThis event is free to all\, but booking is necessary whether you plan to attend online or in person. Booking closes on 20 October (in-person) and on 23 October (online). Just click here to sign up.          \nWe look forward to seeing you on 24th at Durham University’s Teaching & Learning Centre!  \nAll the best\,  \nThe 19th-Century Election Violence Project Team
