About the Events
What is historical criminology? What does thinking historically about crime and justice entail? How is historical criminology currently practised? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to historical criminology? These questions underscore this inaugural Meet the Authors at #HCNet event hosted by LSBU.
The aim is to provide a platform to support rich discussion about historical criminology amongst those with an interest, in academia and beyond. Ultimately, we aim to promote new ideas on historical criminology, continuing to widen awareness and generate rich conversation.
Historical criminology as a tool is relevant for the classroom, for research, and appeals to a wider public fascination concerning the role of history in our lives. The event offers the opportunity to meet the authors of this new book, Historical Criminology, including the possibility to pose a range of questions about their collaboration, the content of their work, and the historical methodology itself. Attendance offers the opportunity to generate discussion about the role of historical criminology, bringing together a diversity of ideas from each question posed.

About the Events
The 1955 ‘Bandung’ Conference is a moment in time which invites us to ask, as some of those who lived through and witnessed it also did: what is the scope of decolonisation? What does it want? Who are its agents? Focusing on two mid-century conferences that sought to ‘talk decolonisation’ and some writers associated with them, this talk examines some of the ideas and insights about decolonisation-as well as its paradoxes and challenges- which emerged in the Bandung moment and remain relevant to ours.
The Race, Gender and Sexualities Research Group (School of Law and Social Sciences) at London South Bank University (LSBU) is delighted to host an evening with Professor Priyamvada Gopal who will be speaking on ‘Old Beginnings: the Scene of Decolonisation’.
Professor Priyamvada Gopal is the author of a recently published book, Insurgent Empire: Resistance and British Dissent and article ‘On Decolonisation and the University’ (2021). She is an academic at Cambridge University, a political and human rights activist in the UK and India, and a proponent of ‘decolonising’ academic institutions.
This event will be chaired by Dr Shaminder Takhar, Associate Professor of Sociology and co-lead of the Race, Gender and Sexualities Research Group. We hope you will join us to hear Professor Gopal’s lecture on the importance and relevance of decolonisation.
This event will be delivered by Zoom. You will receive joining instructions in the run up to the event.
