It will be packed with practical tips to help you record history, plus talks, film screenings, thought-provoking panel discussions and workshops. The festival culminates with a powerful theatre performance, ‘Anatomy of a Black Rebellion’ a new award-winning play.

Marking 100 years since Malcolm X’s birth, this festival at @goldsmithsuol.bsky.social will be a moment of celebration, reflection, and joy: a chance to honour Black history while shaping its future.

It's often a great test run if you want to present at the main conference and is a great opportunity to meet other postgrad researchers. It is also a FREE conference for members of the SCS.

This is always an amazing conference and we really encourage postgraduates in various academic disciplines and stages of their degree, whose research concerns any aspect of Caribbean Studies, to apply.

The postgraduate conference will be held at @cardiffuni.bsky.social 16-17 April 2026.
Abstract deadline is 24 October 2025.

And we finished on a fantastic high with our Bridget Jones Award presentation from La Vaughn Belle www.lavaughnbelle.com

And what a dream to welcome Prof Verene Shepherd as the Pat Noxolo Keynote

Indo-Caribbeans in or formerly in the UK are invited to participate by emailing indocaribbeanwindrush@gmail.com or via Instagram @indocaribbeanwindrushstories
