Everybody should watch this excellent talk on Brexit and British histories of citizenship and immigration. Automated captions available.

And we’re also using a wonderful @TEDx talk by @GKBhambra to unpick the influence of empire and decolonisation on the Brexit debate: https://t.co/Xu7rt8vXt1

[UHI BritStudies/HSBI @UHIBritStudies]

Rather aptly, it’s Brexit week on our @UHIBritStudies module British Identities, where we’ll be talking about the persistence of imperial nostalgia using the work of @dannydorling, including his latest article https://t.co/HZTbiQXowj
