The Stephen Lawrence Research Centre is delighted to host Professor Barnor Hesse of Northwestern University, Chicago for this series of live webinars which will discuss concurrent racial catastrophes that have unfolded during 2020 through Professor Hesse’s idea on race and ‘transruptions’ and will address questions relating to the social and global problem of contemporary racism.

Taking place every Wednesday evening throughout February, this four-part webinar series marks the 20th anniversary of Professor Barnor Hesse’s edited landmark publication of the same name. Each of the webinars will gather together world leading international scholars and thinkers from across the globe to discuss ways to navigate and respond to the urgent issues of our times. Through discussion we will examine the racist fault lines of Grenfell and the Windrush Scandal and discuss the global impact of Covid-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement to the extent that anti-black racism has also been named as ‘pandemic’.
This series is aimed at a global audience of activists, scholars, academics, students and thinkers interested in questioning contemporary politics of race and racism.
