Public Lectures: Immigration, identity and multiculturalism

 

Held on: Wednesday 2nd April, 7-9:30pm

 

Speaker: Munira Mirza

 

How have attitudes to immigration changed historically? What does modern multiculturalism as policy and lived experience offer us today: a harmonious East End or a divisive focus on difference?

(ed.) 2006; 'Living Apart Together: British Muslims and the Paradox of Multiculturalism', 2007; Printed Project, Issue 8, 2007 (ed). She is also a founding member of the Manifesto Club and has recently joined the London Mayoral Office as the Director of Policy, Arts, Culture and the Creative Industries.
