Please join us in celebrating the Centre for Black Humanities’ tenth anniversary. CBH is holding a two-day symposium titled ‘Collectivity, Community, Collaboration’. Our keynote will be Professor Christina Sharpe. Cfp below. Please spread the word!
CALL FOR PAPERS
Centre For Black Humanities 10th Anniversary Symposium: 
‘Black Humanities: Collectivity, Community, Collaboration’
Keynote Speaker: Professor Christina Sharpe
8-9
th April 2027
University of Bristol

The Centre for Black Humanities is an interdisciplinary research collective dedicated to 
advancing scholarship on the artistic and intellectual contributions of people of African 
descent. It is inspired by and expands legacies of scholarship, art, and activism relating 
to Black lives across time and space. Building on our international and multilingual
networks, and our home in the port city of Bristol, our research often engages with 
communities beyond traditional academic settings and addresses inequality and social 
justice through innovative collaborations. By centring an ethics of care and generosity, 
despite the chronic conditions of life in and beyond the academy, we support earlycareer scholars and visiting scholars/practitioners. In turn, we seek to interrogate and 
repurpose institutions of knowledge production such as universities, museums and
publishing houses, within entangled contexts of reparative justice, decolonization, and 
the climate crisis. We imagine collectivity, community and collaboration as methods for 
Black Humanities research going forwards.To celebrate the Centre’s 10-year anniversary, we will be holding a two-day symposium 
entitled: ‘Black Humanities: Collectivity, Community, Collaboration’. The keynote 
will be Professor Christina Sharpe, Research Chair in Black Studies in the Humanities at 
York University (Canada), and author of In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (2016) and 
Ordinary Notes (2024). We invite scholars and practitioners (at all levels, independent 
and affiliated) to submit abstracts for presentations of 15 minutes. The event will be 
held in person at the University of Bristol. We invite presentations that speak to Black 
Humanities in its multi/anti/undisciplinary forms. We are particularly interested in work
that speaks to the following themes:
- Collectivity, Collaboration and/or Community in Black Humanities
- Black Humanities/Studies in times of polycrisis
- Black Health
- Environmental Justice
- Radical Imaginaries (how creative works make sense of Black pasts/present and 
help to shape Black futures)
- Methods for solidarity and/or incompleteness
- Folklore and storytelling as method
- Translation and multilingual solidarities
- Beyond critique
Please submit your abstract of no more than 250 words, along with a short bio of no 
more than 100 words, to cbh-publicity@bristol.ac.uk. Abstracts should be submitted 
no later than Friday 30th October 2026. A publication and podcast series are planned to 
follow on after this event.
You may reach us at cbh-publicity@bristol.ac.uk in case of any questions or 
observations.
