SpeakerDr Onyeka Nubia
Speaker's BiographyDr Onyeka Nubia is a pioneering and internationally recognised historian, writer and presenter who is reinventing our perceptions of the Renaissance, British history, Black Studies and intersectionalism. Onyeka is a leading historian on the status and origins of Africans in pre-colonial England from antiquity to 1603. He has developed entirely new strands of British history which include Africans in Ancient and Medieval England.
Onyeka is a Visiting Research Fellow at Edge Hill and Huddersfield universities and the Director of Studies at Narrative Eye. He is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards. He has written over forty articles on Englishness, Britishness and historical method and has served as a consultant and presenter for television programmes including the BBC’s History Cold Case Episode 1, Series 1, the 'Ipswich Man”' and Channel 4’s 'Skeletons of the Mary Rose' and 'Crossrail Discovery: London’s Lost Graveyard'.
A pioneering and internationally recognised historian, Onyeka Nubia’s original research has lifted a veil on the relationship between historic Britain and Africa. England’s Other Countrymen is a brave and eloquent forgotten history of diversity and cultural exchange and casts a new light on our own attitudes towards race.
