Lanre Bakare ‘We Were There: How Black Culture, Resistance and Community Shaped Modern Britain’. 

‘A Vital corrective that enhances our understanding of Black British history’- Steve McQueen

From the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s Britain was in tumult.  Rocked by Margaret Thatcher’s radical economic policy, the rise of the National Front, widespread civil unrest and anti immigration policies,  it was also a time of Black cultural creation.  In his much heralded first book Guardian journalist Lanre Bakare brings into the spotlight extraordinary and often overlooked Black lives in   cities across the UK including feminists and Rastafarians , academics and pan-Africanists, environmental campaigners and rugby-league superstars.  From the docks of Liverpool and Cardiff to the mills of Bradford and the dancefloors that hosted Northern soul all-nighters, this is a profoundly important portrait of modern Britain. 

This 5-day programme will provide academic leaders with a comprehensive understanding of the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. Through interactive sessions, expert-led discussions, hands-on exercises, and experiential learning activities, participants will explore the transformative potential of AI in enhancing teaching methodologies, research approaches, and student learning outcomes. Special focus will be placed on the impact of AI on neurodiverse learners and students with learning disabilities.
