The politics of Black British history: A conversation with Dr Meleisa Ono-George

Dr Ono-George is a social-cultural historian of race and gender, with a focus on Black women’s histories in Britain and the Anglo-Caribbean. She is currently researching a book that focuses on the lives of several Black women in the nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain. In addition, she has also begun developing her next project which looks at the history of Black mothering in Britain and the politics of historical production.

Dr Ono-George is presently based at the University of Warwick and will be joining Oxford in September as the first Brittenden Fellow in Black British History.

Dr Ono-George will give a short presentation, to be followed by a conversation with Jade Bentil and Iyone Agboraw, before an open discussion.
