Please join CoDE as we host an in-person seminar with Dr Amit Singh (University of Manchester).

The pub and the pint are often imagined as quintessential Englishness, romanticized as a site of idyllic English ‘working-class’ sociability that is now under-threat and in need of saving, as is the white working-class pub-goer who is seen as its exemplary patron. This talk challenges such racially charged and exclusionary narratives, by exploring the otherwise overlooked phenomenon of England’s ‘desi pubs’ (Indian-run pubs). It argues that attentiveness to desi pubs complicates overarching narratives of the pub as White Englishness, and points to alternative convivial possibilities that reflect the mundane and unspectacular way in which people attempt to build lives together against the backdrop of wider inequalities.

Dr Amit Singh is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Manchester.

This will be an in-person event, held in Arthur Lewis G.030/G.031.

Price: Free
