Professor Meleisa Ono-George

I am a social-cultural historian of race and gender, with a focus on Black women's histories in Britain and the Anglo-Caribbean. I am interested in the everyday ways people oppressed within society negotiate and navigate structures of power and inequality, as well as the legacies and politics of writing such histories within contemporary society. I am also interested in community-engaged research practices, as well as creative and Caribbean storytelling methodologies.

My current project is a book entitled, My Name is Amelia Newsham: Science, Art and the Making of Race, forthcoming from Viking Books.
