We are delighted to announce that the keynote speakers for our annual conference, this year on the topic of Resistance, will be Fred Moten (UC Riverside) and Becky Taylor (UEA).
Fred Moten is a critical theorist and poet, and the author of In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition; Hughson’s Tavern; B. Jenkins; The Feel Trio; and co-author, with Stefano Harney, of The Undercommons: Fugitive Planning and Black Study. Prof Moten has published widely around the topic black sociality and critical theory, contributing to debates on what Jared Sexton has described as "afro-pessimism and black optimism".
Becky Taylor is a social historian and the author of A Minority and the State: Travellers in Britain in the Twentieth Century and Another Darkness, Another Dawn: A History of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers. Her work focuses on the histories of Roma, Gypsies and Tavellers, particularly in relation to the state, empire, policing, xenophobia and migration.
