Chaired by Moya Lothian-McLean, in this event the speakers will answer:

• Is identity politics useful frame or critique of contemporary antiracist politics?
• What is the history of antiracist organising in the UK?
• Do institutions like the Labour party, trade unions and other NGOs hold us back from a truly radical antiracist movement?

The two speakers are Azfar Shafi and Ilyas Nagdee (Co-Authors of Race to the Bottom: Reclaiming Antiracism).

Breaking Binaries Podcast: Deconstructing two seemingly oppositional ideas. Breaking Binaries on Apple Podcasts

Every episode writer, poet and activist Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan is joined by a different guest to discuss and deconstruct two seemingly oppositional ideas (innocence/guilt, radical/moderate, secular/religious etc). In doing this they consider if things are really so simple, or if seemingly commonsensical binaries actually hide, obscure and allow for much more complicated political dynamics.

Episodes include discussions on majority/minority; disability/ability; black/white; and illegal/legal migrants.
