Prof Michael Banton Day
A DAY TO HONOUR THE LIFE AND WORK OF PROFESSOR MICHAEL BANTON (1926-2018)
Call for Papers. Deadline 10 June 2019.
In 2018, we were very sorry to lose our former president, Professor Michael Banton. Additionally the winner of the RAI Lucy Mair medal in 2013, it may truly be said that throughout his entire academic career he fought to impede or alleviate racism. He did so without the slightest drop in academic standards. Indeed, it may be stated conversely, that he began his deliberations by regarding racism as a problem that needed to be solved, and developed a sophisticated intellectual appreciating how this might be done.
