🌄 Errol Lawrence - We are sad to announce that the former Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies graduate @unibirmingham has recently passed away. Lawrence had contributed to the acclaimed book, ‘The Empire Strikes Back: Race and Racism in 70s Britain’, published in 1982.
🌄 Errol Lawrence spent his working life lecturing and advocating in social housing where he taught and advised workers, communities and organisations concerned with the challenges and politics of housing.
🎓 @StuartHallAP send our condolences to the extended Lawrence family.

Stuart Hall on the need to put forward an alternative political project, to think long-term instead of just the next election: “I'm talking about a whole conception of politics: the capacity to grasp in our political imagination the historical choices in front of us, today.”

Gail Lewis reflects on Stuart Hall's 1990 essay ‘Cultural Identity and Diaspora' and considers how different societal actors are responding to the current conjuncture, as part of our third Reading the Crisis event.
