Abstract: The Black British Voices Project, which began in 2020 as a collaborative project between the Cambridge Sociology Department, Maggie Semple’s I-Cubed consultancy, and Britain’s leading Black newspaper, The Voice, resulted in the largest survey ever undertaken of contemporary Black British perspectives on 16 different areas of social, political, cultural and economic life. More than 10,000 respondents participated in a 100 question survey designed through a careful process of focus group refinement. These data were supplemented by an extensive interview set and together the results of the Black British Voices study have enabled a unique array of insights into Black British life today. Published last September, and launched in Parliament at a reception hosted by MP Abena Oppong-Asare, the Black British Voices Report documents this remarkable project and its key findings. Both the Report and the dataset on which it is based can be downloaded on the project website here: https://www.bbvp.org/

In this seminar, lead BBVP researcher Dr Kenny Monrose will give an account of the project’s aims, objectives and methods, as well as offering reflections on the many challenges faced in research of this kind. Together with other members of the BBVP , Dr Monrose will also consider the importance of the project’s main findings, and the implications these have for future research both here at Cambridge and elsewhere.
