The 2022 Sidney Ball Lecture was given by Professor Ann Phoenix in the beautiful auditorium of St John’s College: 'Who are we? Contesting and transforming racialised histories and futures in the Carolean era'.
Ann Phoenix is Professor of Psychosocial Studies at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education and a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Her research interests are psychosocial, including motherhood, social identities, young people, racialisation and gender.
In the lecture Professor Phoenix talked about the ways racialisation features in contemporary society to discuss three central issues:
- Recognition that no one social category can explain differences, making intersectional perspectives crucial
- Social disruptions make some previously unheard stories sayable, hearable and potentially transformative
- Histories come alive in new ways at such times, revitalising the present and future in ways that make the contestations likely to mark the Carolean age important to all of us.
The annual Sidney Ball Memorial lecture was instituted by Barnett House and named in 1920 after the first chairman of the Barnett House Committee, Sidney Ball.
The event brings a distinguished speaker to Oxford every autumn to discuss key themes in social policy and intervention and it continues to be a highlight of the department’s calendar.
