On June 21st 2018, Dr Sadiah Qureshi will give a lecture entitled 'There is Black in the Union Jack': Britain's Forgotten History. This is the second of three Summer lectures on Inequality from The IF Project. Tickets are free. All are welcome.

Dr Qureshi is Senior Lecturer in Modern History at The University of Birmingham. Her research explores the ways in which racialised knowledge is produced, circulated and mobilised in the modern world. Dr Qureshi is particularly interested in how such knowledge is used to create hierarchies of value between peoples and the legacies of past discrimination in relationship to contemporary issues of equity and social justice. Dr Qureshi's first book, Peoples on Parade (2011), provided the first substantial survey of the commercial exhibition of displayed peoples in nineteenth-century Britain.
