Short Takes: In the words of Sarah Parker Remond

Welcome to our Short Takes podcast series! We'll be highlighting important research and conversations around the topics of racism and racialisation, with contributions from academics, activists and cultural practitioners.In the first of our series, Sirpa Salenius, the biographer of Sarah Parker Remond, and author of An Abolitionist Abroad: Sarah Parker Remond in Cosmopolitan Europe (University of Massachusetts Press, 2016), is going to present some elements of Sarah Parker Remond’s life in Europe, and show why we felt it was such a wonderful thing to be able to use Sarah Parker Remond’s name to express the spirit and the character and the direction of the work that our centre is going to conduct in the future.Please note, this recording uses various pronunciations of Remond's name (Europe-US).Transcript: www.ucl.ac.uk/racism-racialisation/transcript-words-sarah-parker-remondSpeaker: Sirpa Salenius, Senior Lecturer at University of Eastern FinlandImage: Collection of the Massachusetts Historical SocietyProducer and Editor: Kaissa Karhuwww.ucl.ac.uk/racism-racialisation/podcasts Hosted on Acast.
