Blackness and the research gaze
16 October 2023

In this Black History Month 2023 event co-hosted by the LSE’s Department of Methodology and the Department of Social Policy’s Race Matters Initiative, speakers reflect on how they embed critical and transformative techniques in researching Black subjectivities. Discover how members of our distinguished panel evaluate the mental health consequences of the Windrush scandal on Caribbean and Black African people in the UK; address experiential and institutional dimensions of ‘race’, racism and anti-racism in Mexico; examine the role of Afro-Colombian activists in designing and implementing cultural policies; and use hip-hop aesthetics to explore the metaphysics of Blackness.
