History, Archives and Communities: Critical Interfaces in Romani Studies, University of Liverpool, 10-11 October 2014

The workshop organized by Celia Donert of the University’s Department of History gathered scholars and practitioners engaged with the field of Romani Studies through their work as archivists, historians, or educators in order to assess the scope for co-operation between historians and policy makers for the benefit of both optimal research infrastructure and enhanced community relations. The workshop demonstrated that historical research is crucial for tackling racism and discrimination through educational and community projects and thus has a vitally important role to play in policy-making. The event is part of a series of workshops funded by the RAN within the framework of the call for proposals for Bridging the Gap between Academia and Policy Makers.
