I'll be in Lisbon next week with @DimitriSrf and @dimamohammed_ for this work shop. I'll present on how the booing of the England men's team at Euro2020 for taking the knee became part of the 'culture wars' and wider political battles over defining racism (h/t @alanalentin)

Perhaps of interest to @DalrympleWill @tweeter_anita and some @EmpirePodUK listeners, too.

Very happy to share that the new book is landing Jan 2025, with @OUPAcademic
