Has any university ever appeared more ridiculous than University of Chichester (University of Chichester), who sack the eminent scholar, Hakim Adi (@hakimadi1), who is then immediately shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize, one of the most prestigious awards worldwide?

Congratulations to Professor Hakim Adi who has been shortlisted for the prestigious Wolfson History Prize! This is for his groundbreaking publication, African and Caribbean people in Britain: A History

We’re now a month later, and University of Chichester has made the awful decision to make Professor Hakim Adi redundant! Waiting on support from UCU…

We would really appreciate if supporters of our campaign to Save the MRes History of Africa and the African Diaspora, could complete a short survey to help us demonstrate the importance and uniqueness of the MRes course

This is a disgrace. Edinburgh University just hosted Dr Adi last year as part of the launch of his long awaited new book, as did many others in the UK and around the world. So much support from academics and heritage professionals yet Chichester pulled the plug with no warning?

Liv Uni History Humanities & Social Sciences @ Uni of Liverpool @LivUni should be hosting Hakim Adi course, which is run entirely online. This is especially important in a city like Liverpool which has one of Europe’s oldest Black communities, and was responsible for the trafficking of at least 1.4 million enslaved people.

This decision is so appalling & is a direct attack on Black histories in this country. It’s unbelievable that other unis, esp Liv Uni History Humanities & Social Sciences @ Uni of Liverpool have stood by in silence & let this happen. This MRes has produced 7 PhD students since 2018 & has c. 30 students currently 1/🧵

As one of Hakim Adi PhD students I can’t begin to express the various levels of disrespect Professor Adi and his students have dealt with from Chichester, after everything he’s contributed. It’s a disgusting attack on African history, and we have to keep up the fight against it

This is a total disgrace and shows the lack of regard for the significant work that Professor Adi has undertaken in creating a cohort of African History professionals. This decision also leaves MA and PhD students without a suitable Supervisor. This is a despicable.

Shame on Prof Jane Longmore and the University of Chichester. Indeed, the whole city is shamed by this appalling behaviour by its supposed university. ⤵️

Disgusting decision by University of Chichester
Solidarity with Hakim Adi

This is an outrage. Deeply saddening news.

Please continue to support the petition and the campaign! We cannot let this affront to African history win.
