Migrant Knowledge

Dr Oluwakemi Ibironke is at Lincoln Bishop University on Wednesday 21 October, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm, for a talk called Migrant Knowledge. The session looks at the challenges and opportunities of moving to a new country, and it's free to attend.

It's part of Black History Month 2026, which this year runs across both Lincoln Bishop and the University of Lincoln under the theme 'Honouring Our Communities'. The whole month's programme brings together storytelling, lectures and a one-woman show by Black British creative Esme Sears, all celebrating the local, national and global contributions of Black people.

Across the university's communications, they've highlighted a few names that sit alongside the month's events. There's three-time Grammy nominee Joan Armatrading, Tendayi Darikwa, captain of Lincoln City FC, and Eric Irons OBE, who in 1962 became Britain's first Black magistrate. Ibironke's talk on moving countries fits into that broader conversation about community and contribution.

Booking is through Eventbrite; they prefer you to book ahead, but it's not obligatory, so you can just turn up. Entry is free, and the talk runs from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm on Wednesday 21 October at Lincoln Bishop University.
