Diaspora & Radicals
TGHS is the longest running student-led history forum at the University of Oxford. Subscribe to the mailing list here

Tionne Parris will be presenting “We weren’t the beginning, we weren’t the end, we dropped our pebble on the beach.”: Legacies of Black radical women in the 20th Century

She will explore the individual contributions of women like Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Shirley Graham DuBois and others, showing how their stories can be combined to provide a model of radical activism that has been underrepresented in our understanding of the histories of Black radicalism. She will also touch on their impact internationally and in the United Kingdom.

The role of diasporic intellectual and activist networks in developing and spreading new schools of thought and innovative political strategies helps us think through the transnational nature of intellectual history and liberation politics, with a particular focus on women.
