Migration, Diaspora and the Black Atlantic
This area of research brings together researchers from area studies, languages, literature, history and art who study the history and present-day impact of mass migration on culture and society across the world. We work specifically in the three main areas of contemporary art and communities, Black Atlantic research and the understanding of places.
The Institute of Black Atlantic Research (IBAR)
The Institute of Black Atlantic Research (IBAR) works with museums, galleries, broadcasters and community organisations to promote the study of the Black Atlantic in the North West and beyond, with an emphasis on art and culture.
