We're very happy to help promote this research event here at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland!

Event: Black History Month (BHM) Doctoral Researchers’ Event
Event Date: 25/10/2019
Deadline for abstracts: 7/10/2019

The Equality and Diversity Forum in partnership with the Research and Knowledge Exchange directorate at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is pleased to present the first Black History Month (BHM) Doctoral Researchers Event to be held at the RCS on 25th October. 

This event is to promote and celebrate BAME researchers and their work.

Call for presentations: We would like to invite abstracts for a fifteen-minute presentation (performances are also encouraged) followed by discussion and questions. This call is open to all BAME arts and humanities doctoral researchers from the UK. The programme allows for 8 presentations and presenters are free to choose whether or not their presentation will directly address the challenges and/or opportunities of being a BAME researcher.

Please send a title and a 250-word outline of your presentation to a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk by Monday 7th Oct.

The event is free to all. If you would prefer to just attend the event or are interested in chairing or moderating please email a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk. Please note that there are limited places due to the venue capacity.

Non-BAME doctoral researchers are also welcome to attend and can email a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk.

Presentations will be followed by an evening event of poetry, opera and a panel discussion focused on ‘Decolonising the curriculum in the arts.’ All participants will be eligible for a free ticket.
