People
The research centre includes a wide range of scholars from across the University, from Professors to PhD students. The Centre frequently hosts Visiting Fellows from all over the world, facilitating international collaboration and intellectual exchange. The current team has specific expertise and interest in race and postcolonial studies (the latter with a specific focus in South Asia). This is reflected in the events organised as well as the research undertaken by both staff and students.

Associated PhD students
Tendai Lewis
Tendai is a local activist and PHD (cultural studies) student living and studying in Brighton, who focuses on exploring the impact of social constructions on our identities and lived experiences. Tendai's focus is exploring how embodied experiences are impacted by a myriad of intersecting power structures and intersecting forms of oppression. The relationship between race and culture has a direct impact on how marginalised peoples navigate their lives and identities. Tendai's research project is concerned with how colonial discourses permeate the societal and cultural composition of contemporary Britain, and how the cultural coding that exists impacts the embodied experiences of Black women in Britain. Using Black women living in contemporary Britain as their focus, Tendai aims to explore the relationship between race and desire asking: what is the cultural coding that exists around our sexual and romantic identities; and how does race impact these codes?
