Other forms of participation should be discussed in advance with the Organising Chair. All submissions will be minimally d

Anticipating Black Futures is an interdisciplinary symposium that will consider the futures of Black people in Britain by responding to the lived experiences of now. In a nation where Black pasts are erased and the present is under threat, how do we begin conceptualising the future?

By anticipating the future Black possibilities we can articulate contemporary realities and theorise how to move forward from the present hostile environment. By legitimising anticipation of the future as a research premise this conference aims to articulate what it means to be Black in Britain by looking into future possibilities. The symposium will not only benefit those studying Black Studies and its related subjects. It will perform as a platform to further interest across Britain by being open to students in the arts, humanities, social scien
