Jobs: Researchers in colonialism, race and enslavement

Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), University of Edinburgh

The Research and Engagement Working Group (REWG) on Engaging with the University of Edinburgh’s Historical Links to African Enslavement and Colonialism and their Racial Legacies Today was set up in January 2022 in response to the Principal’s announcement that the University of Edinburgh (UoE) would begin a bold decolonization and reparatory justice programme dedicated looking at ‘issues of race, contemporary racism, Eurocentric and Afriphobic aspects of the curriculum and features of the University’s history’.

Five positions are now available, based at IASH, with closing dates for application in late July and early August.
