Recovering the hidden multicultural history of the University of Brighton and its forerunner institutions

This collaborative archival project aims to recover the hidden presence and experience of Black and Asian people, as well as other racialised ethnic minorities – both staff and students – at the University of Brighton and its forerunner institutions including the Brighton School of Art and the Chelsea College of Physical Education (in Eastbourne).  It was launched in 2022 to mark the 30th anniversary of the University of Brighton and is supported by the Centre for Memory, Narrative and Histories and the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University.
