Liz outlines some of the key moments in the IRR’s history. We discuss both the historical and contemporary role of the institute as specified by the late A. Sivanandan, and Liz provides some important reflections and hopeful possibilities about our present-day political culture.

This is a special five part series in collaboration with the official journal of the Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Race & Class. The series begins with an introduction to the history of IRR with Director Liz Fekete & follows with four episodes about the latest special issue: Race Mental Health, State Violence with editors Eddie Bruce-Jones & Monish Bhatia and contributors Tarek Younis and Vanessa E Thompson. With special thanks to Sophia Siddiqui.
