Overview
What you will study
The Black Humanities course offered by University of Bristol invites you to explore the cycles and circuits that connect our city to national and global dialogues around race and the humanities.
You’ll engage with key thinkers and issues across a range of fields – from film, visual culture and music to history and literature. We’ll begin by asking ‘What is Black Humanities?’ before going on to address themes such as history and memory, Black feminisms and the cultural and intellectual legacies of Black radical thought. Through these sessions you will gain critical insight into pressing social questions – from the current resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement to debates around the legacies of the Transatlantic slave trade and the demonisation of Critical Race Theory.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- learn about the rich history of cultural and intellectual innovation across Africa and its diasporas through an interdisciplinary and humanities-based lens;
- develop key transferrable research skills from critical reading and viewing to hands-on experience in archives;
- engage key cultural sites in the city of Bristol and its environs;
- understand how important debates in society today are deeply rooted in histories of race and radical thought;
- engage with important thinkers and texts in the Black Humanities;
- examine historical constructions of race and racialised identities;
- develop presentation, communication and teamworking skills.
