Stephen Small "Theorizing Black Europe with Particular Reference to Great Britain"

Stephen Small's research concentrates on an analysis of links between historical structures and contemporary manifestations of racial formations and racialized relations. He is particularly concerned with changing expressions of racialization. At present his work is organized around two types of concentration: firstly, institutional experiences, material resources and ideological articulations of “race mixture”; and secondly, representations of slavery in contemporary museums. Currently, he has research in progress on two projects. The first explores discussions of 'race mixture' in a range of US sites including far right organizations, popular culture and politics; the second examines the collective memory of so-called "slave cabins" in the USA. He is also working on a collaborative project that examines government policies and academic research around immigration and race in the United States, England, France and the Netherlands.
