In this talk, Professor Robbie Shilliam will examine the apprehension, expressed in recent debates over Rhodes Must Fall Oxford, that racial identity claims are ill fitting for the ethos of higher education. He argues that much more than Rhodes’ statue implicates the British academy in the Empire’s southern African interests.
Robbie Shilliam is Professor of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University.
