Teaching British Histories of Race, Migration and Empire
You are reading:
A crowdsourced collection of resources for teachers, students and researchers exploring histories of race, migration and empire.
How to use this page
This collection of links to resources on British histories of race, migration and empire is a collaboration with the Runnymede Trust as part of an effort to increase the presence of Black history, histories of colonialism and of migration in the UK history curricula.
We have asked for people to suggest useful sites, and you can make further suggestions via our webform.
The resources range widely in scope and type. We have organised them according to Key Stages, as well as listing resources for academic researchers, teachers, lecturers, tutors and others. As such, some resources may appear in several sections.
Join the conversation about this resource and the need for change in history education on Twitter using the hashtag #TeachRaceMigrationEmpire. Read an introductory blog post on Teaching British histories of race, migration and empire from the campaign's convenors, Hannah Elias and Sundeep Lidher.

| Biographies of Notable Female African and Asian Figures from the 19th and 20th Centuries | http://www.open.ac.uk/arts/research/ferguson-centre/teaching In celebration of International Women’s Day 2020, The Open University’s Ferguson Centre for African and Asian Studies and its History Department have created this teaching resource – short biographies of pioneering and notable women from Africa and Asia, who were active in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These women are vitally important in helping us understand social, cultural and political changes in Africa and Asia, with a particular emphasis on feminist politics, suffrage movements, independence movements and anti-colonial activism. The creation of this teaching resource was driven by an ever-constant need to understand historical events from a variety of perspectives that are very often not presented in History teaching in the West. Each biography includes links to additional resources, and there is a list of further online readings at the end. This is the first time this group of African and Asian women has been presented together in a collective way. We hope that this will be a useful resource for teachers and educators to help their students understand the contributions of Africa and Asian women to African, Asian and World history. |
