Episode 6 - Dr Onyeka Nubia

“I am interested in the inter-sectionalism of British myth-making. And how this impacts on the idea of the narrative of England's story. My work seeks to bridge the gap between different types of historiographies. In particular how English history became exclusive or mono-ethnic and why. My research critiques secondary sources but in particular, focuses on primary ones as offering new and interesting perspectives on the 'matter of Britain.”

Dr 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 inter-sectionalism. Dr Nubia is the leading historian on the status and origins of Africans in pre-colonial England from antiquity to 1603 and has developed entirely new strands of British history which includes Africans in Ancient and Medieval England. Dr Nubia has introduced academia and the general public to an entirely new perspective on otherness, colonialism, imperialism and the Black British contribution to World Wars I and II.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to Dr Onyeka Nubia.
