David Olusoga: In Conversation

Presented in collaboration with Clevedon Litfest, we’re delighted to host David Olusoga for an in-person conversation and book signing. David is a British Nigerian historian author, presenter, BAFTA winning film-maker and Professor of Public History at the University of Manchester.

As a recipient of both the British Academy’s President’s Medal and the Norton Medlicott Medal For Services to History, specialising in the history of the British Empire and how we experience its lasting effects in modern society, David’s expertise and knowledge of a subject which feels pressingly current will produce fascinating historical insight and context to where Britain finds itself today.   The evening will be hosted by author, journalist, and screenwriter, Nikesh Shukla. Winner of multiple awards and author of many books including Coconut Unlimited, Run Riot, Brown Baby: A Memoir of Race, Family and Home, and editor of best-selling essay collection The Good Immigrant; Nikesh is also a columnist for The Bristol Cable and teaches creative writing for Faber Academy.
