COLLABORATION
The Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre is an anti-racist library which specialises in the study of race, ethnicity and migration. It is connected to an educational trust named after Ahmed Iqbal Ullah, a Bangladeshi student who was stabbed to death in a racially motivated attack at a Manchester school in the 1980s.
My relationship with the Centre began during my doctoral studies at the University of Manchester, where I worked as a cataloguer and sub-editor on their journal, and developed a series of public workshops and outreach events. Towards the end of my PhD I took up a position as the Centre's Researcher-in-Residence, and delivered a report assessing the impact of its move from the University of Manchester campus to a new home at Manchester Central Library

Following the completion of my doctoral studies I have continued my relationship with the Centre through a new role as a Research Associate, which has allowed me work on new outreach projects.
Most recently, we were able to launch a children's book series focusing on the relationship between African Americans and Manchester. The first book in the series was published in 2018, and focused on Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
The book is currently featuring as part of a Race Relations Road Show taking place in schools across Manchester, and is also available to purchase from the Race Relations Centre.
