Refugee Week: Research Cafe event 18 June, 12-1pm.

The next Goldsmiths Library Research Café will take place at Deptford Lounge on 18 June, from 12-1pm, as part of this year’s Refugee Week.

I-n-I Roots, Globally Local Celebrating the Strands of Deptford

I-n-I Roots is a poetry-based celebration of the globally local strands of the Deptford and New Cross African and Caribbean diaspora as perceived by first year undergraduate Sociology students studying Culture and Society at Goldsmiths University of London. Crafted and Afro-scripted into long-form poetry the students' semiological study of Afro hairdressing traces the tresses of Deptford and New Cross as a globally local space for the elaborate acculturation of Black Britishness. The principal researcher is Dr. Pamela Odih and the research is funded by a British Academy and Leverhulme Trust award (2024/25).

Pamela Odih (Sociology) will share insights from her research on migration and Afro-Caribbean communities. She will be joined by Katya Griffin, Lewisham Council’s Borough of Sanctuary Programme Manager, who will discuss her work supporting sanctuary initiatives across the borough.
