In this episode we hear from Meghan Tinsley, Gary Younge and Chloe Peacock about their research on the activism which surrounds statues of empire and slavery.
The research team - which also included Ruth Ramsden-Karelse and Sadia Habib – looked at political discourse and policy literature and conducted interviews with activists to compare the contestation of statues across fifteen sites in the UK, the US, South Africa, Martinique, and Belgium.
Welcome to this collaborative two-part series with the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity at the University of Manchester. In these episodes we explore the research conducted at the centre focused on ethnic, racial and religious inequalities in the UK. This collaborative series takes a close look at the research produced at the centre from issues ranging from statues, racism, the cultural industries and COVID-19.
