This episode contains discussions of 19th and early 20th century American history, slavery, racism and race.

In this episode we are joined by dipbuk Panchal to discuss W. E. B. Du Bois seminal 1903 text The Souls of Black Folk. We take you through Du Bois' life, as well contextualise why this book was so important for the time. We cover some of Du Bois' main theories including the colour-line, the Veil, and double-consciousness. We finish by thinking about Du Bois' relationship with religion, and tracking the threads of his work to today.

dipbuk is a PhD researcher in the Sociology department at the University of Warwick. They research policing through an intersectional lens, and in particular focus on the relationship between the body and the police uniform with regards to power and identity.
