Join us for the second annual Social Sciences Division Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Lecture, featuring award-winning journalist, bestselling author, filmmaker and Oxford alumna Afua Hirsch.
Afua Hirsch studied PPE at Oxford. Her bestselling books, including Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging (2018) and Decolonising My Body: A Radical Exploration of Rituals and Beauty (2023), have shaped conversations on race, identity, and decolonisation. In this lecture, she will share insights from her career and research, offering reflections on some of today’s most urgent questions around race and belonging.
Afua Hirsch is the founder of Born In Me, a production company creating premium scripted and unscripted TV and film, including Africa Rising, an ongoing BBC series exploring the art and culture of African countries. She is also the host of Legacy, a top-3 global podcast hit for Wondery and Amazon Music, now in its twentieth season. A journalist for more than twenty years, she is a former Guardian correspondent, associate editor of British Vogue, and a professor of journalism at the University of Southern California.
We do hope you'll join us for this opportunity to hear from one of today’s leading voices in journalism, storytelling, and social commentary.
