Multicultural Britain & Ireland: Where Are You From?

28 Jun 2025

10:30 - 11:30

University of Bradford

What does it mean to belong in modern Britain? In this powerful and timely event, historian Kieran Connell draws on his own upbringing in one of Birmingham’s most diverse neighbourhoods to explore the layered histories of multicultural Bradford.  

Taking the question “Where are you from?” as a starting point, Connell invites us to see multiculturalism not as an abstract concept, but as a lived experience - shaping our families, friendships, food, music, and daily lives.  

In a time of growing division, this conversation asks how we can honour the past while imagining a more inclusive, hopeful future.
