Joseph Hopkinson

Dr Joe Hopkinson BA (Hons), MA, PhD, FHEA, has the great pleasure of working in his hometown at the University of Huddersfield where he also received his qualifications in History. Joe’s AHRC funded PhD engaged with experiencing racism at school and the oral histories of Black and Asian British schoolchildren during the early years of multicultural education practices in Britain. This project followed the production of his award-winning short documentary film, ‘Dispersing the Problem’, for a Masters by Research which won him the Royal Historical Society Prize for best postgraduate public history project in 2018. Joe has experience teaching Empire history, public history, critical thinking, and oral history. Recently he published 'The Language of Race in Britain', in Karamat Iqbal and Tahir Abbas (eds.) Ethnicity, Religion, and Muslim Education in a Changing World: Navigating Contemporary Perspectives on Multicultural Schooling in the UK (Routledge, 2024).
