  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.

  • Heritage, Legacy and Leadership
    heritage, legacy and leadership: ideas and interventions The Cultural Leadership Programme and the Mayor’s Commission on African and Asian Heritage were delighted to present Heritage, Legacy and Leadership: Ideas and Interventions on 22 February 2008. This international symposium was conceived as a cutting-edge intervention to stimulate analysis and debate that would enrich leadership development within the heritage sector. The event brought together an eclectic and stunning mix of senior managers, practitioners, academics, policy makers, advisers and experts. This gathering of influential stakeholders produced a rich synergy as they explored the thinking, experiences and practices needed to develop bold, creative and progressive heritage leadership. By placing the challenges facing the sector within an international context, the symposium provided a rare trans-national forum. The exchange between renowned speakers and the heritage sector at large produced a stimulating dialogue, marking priorities and igniting possibilities for a dynamic and diverse twenty-first century heritage leadership. The Heritage, Legacy and Leadership symposium featured a range of engaging and sometimes provocative presentations, some of which are represented in this report. The key message emerging from the symposium was that cultural leadership is a collective responsibility and that we as individuals must strive to create, support and contribute to the leadership paradigm we envision. ‘We are the ones we have been waiting for’ was the phrase that resonated most powerfully throughout the proceedings. Doudou Diène’s thought-provoking keynote address is featured, along with a selection of the inspirational and at times challenging presentations that have been revised for this publication. Three complementary papers provide a commentary on the symposium’s value and legacy for the sector.

Moore III Interim VP for Diversity & Inclusion The Ohio State University Columbus, OH, USA Zeus Leonardo Graduate School of Education University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA, USA Tis series focuses on new developments in the study of race, social jus- tice and education. Promoting theoretically-rich works, contributions include empirical and conceptual studies that advance critical analysis whilst attempting to destabilise the institutionalised racist orthodoxy that has undermined the notion of education being a tool of social mobility. Te series will consider social mobility as a form of equality narrowly defned whilst also critiquing the ideology of social mobility which essen- tially pits individuals against one another in a sink or swim competition, entirely ignoring the reality of deep and damaging structural inequalities. A central aim of the series will be to address important current policy issues, such as social mobility, widening participation etc., while also rec- ognising that critical studies of race are also concerned with wider, funda- mental transformations in education, knowledge and society, i.e. the dismantling of racist structures, concern with education’s role in repro- ducing racial inequality.​ More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/16182 Dave S.

Yet city museums feel strangely absent from these conversations, which have principally focused on national and regional museums in Britain, its former colonies and Europe. This thesis responds to this gap in the literature by mapping the shifting representation of empire and colonial histories at the Museum of London between 1976-2007.

  • Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Phd in Law
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Repairing the Legacies of Transatlantic Slavery Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD in Law University of Hull by David Wilkins, MA, BA July 2013 Abstract Recent decades have seen the emergence of calls for financial reparations to African Americans, Caribbean nations and Africa. These claims have sought to utilise legal principles of torts and unjust enrichment to create a causal chain between the history of transatlantic slavery, via colonialism and segregation, to present-day national and international racial inequality. This thesis argues that such conceptualisations of reparations oversimplify the history and legacy of transatlantic slavery, and therefore what is required to repair that history and legacy. The foremost legacy is attitudinal and relational. Modern anti-black racism was developed to justify the institutionalisation of slavery in the New World by Europeans. Racism in turn has, both knowingly and unknowingly, shaped the construction of historical memory and the development of national and international European identity. These identities have in turn shaped the relationships between Europeans and Africans, leading to present-day injustice and racial inequality. To overcome the socioeconomic legacies of transatlantic slavery, reparation must prioritise relational and attitudinal repair. This thesis utilises the theories of restorative justice, and its implementation in truth and reconciliation processes, to argue that museums and schools, by broadening the history they present to include previously suppressed events and community perspectives, can potentially contribute to relational repair at a national level in Britain and the US, and internationally via projects such as UNESCO’s Slave Route Project. This thesis argues that the history of transatlantic slavery and its legacies of relational harm and socioeconomic inequality cannot be isolated or fully understood without a wider historical and present-day contextualisation of inequalities and prejudices, including class.

P18 LIPA spokespeople P19 LIPA patrons P20 LIPA companions P21 Feature ideas and press contact details 2 An introduction to The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts Co-founded in 1995 by lead patron Sir Paul McCartney and Principal Mark Featherstone-Witty, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) is a higher education institute for performers and those who want to make performance possible. Every performance event requires team work. LIPA graduates will not only have specialised in specific skills, but they also understand what makes effective group working. Aside from industry experienced teaching staff, LIPA has long developed master classes and ‘conversations with’ both well-known performers (like Paul McCartney, Ian McKellen, Amy Winehouse) and sector leaders (like Andy Hales, Seymour Stein, Trevor Horn). LIPA recognises that ‘show business’ is a reality and that 88% of performing arts companies have less than four workers. Every student is trained for business and is encouraged to start their own. LIPA, from inception, has funded both start-ups and existing business development. LIPA has an enviable record of its graduates gaining sustained work in the performing arts. Every year LIPA conducts a survey of its graduates, three years after they have graduated. For the past four years, LIPA has traced on average 86% of each year group and, of these, on average 93% are in work and 78% are working in the performing arts.
