Online courses, webinars and workshops that promote diversity and challenge eurocentrism
About Us
My name is Leila the Founder of Black British Studies and we create online flexible courses and bespoke webinars and workshops that explore Black British History with the aim of promoting greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures. As an experienced Educator with over 16 years of experience teaching History and Geography in schools, I have always been amazed at how little Black presence there is in the English curriculum and strongly feel that this is a key contributor to our unequal society.
