Race and Resistance
Join an interdisciplinary community studying and researching race, racism, and resistance.
Founded in 2013, the Race and Resistance Research Hub brings together researchers working to answer questions about how race operates, how racial hierarchies are maintained, and how people resist them. Our members approach these questions from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and across different historical and geographical contexts.
Based at TORCH, the Hub provides a space for intellectual exchange and collaboration across disciplines and career stages, within the university and beyond. We meet most Friday lunchtimes during term for talks, research presentations, reading groups, and film screenings.
Our events are open to everyone, and we warmly welcome you to join the conversation.
For any queries, please contact: raceandresistance@torch.ox.ac.uk

Find out more about a successful previous project related to the Race and Resistance Research Hub here:
'Race, Resistance and Belonging at the University of Oxford: A Long History' examined the history of ideas about race, of anti-racist resistance, and of the lived experiences of students and employees at the University of Oxford and members of the city from the 19th century to the present day. The project was the product of collaboration between academics, activists and archivists based in Oxford and around the world.
