The History Hotline is a podcast hosted by History PhD student Deanna Lyncook. Her research takes a transnational approach to the experiences of Caribbean children in the British education system in Britain and its Caribbean colonies, in the second half of the 20th Century. It explores the migration experiences of Caribbean children through oral history.
The podcast provides a space to have honest conversations about Black history and how it impacts the world we live in, with a specific focus on Black British and Caribbean History. The history Hotline explores some of the facets of Black history ignored by the mainstream teachers and the textbooks.
This will be the podcast’s first ever live episode and Deanna will be joined by a special guest Dr Jade Bentil. Jade is a Black Feminist Historian, writer and public speaker whose work seeks to map the genealogies of Black women’s refusal and resistance, both in Britain and throughout the Black diaspora.
The episode will see the pair exploring the ways they do Black British History and the means available to them in doing this work. They will talk through their own work centring Black women and children in British History in order to collectively imagine the future of Black History and its position within mainstream narratives of Britain.
The podcast will last up to 90 minutes, without an interval.
