Dr Onyeka Nubia: Understanding England’s Past

Sunday 30 April, 2 - 3pm, OS.0.01, Michael Berry lecture theatre, Old Sessions House

Diversity in England’s past is sometimes dismissed as 'political correctness' gone mad, or 'wokism.' This presentation will critically examine evidence for diversity in English history and explore ideas of English identity.

Onyeka Nubia is a pioneering and internationally recognised historian, writer and presenter. His current works include reinventing our perceptions of the Renaissance, British history, Black Studies and intersectionalism. Dr Nubia is the leading historian on the status and origins of Africans in pre-colonial England from antiquity to 1603. He has developed entirely new strands of British history which includes Africans in Ancient and Medieval England.
